ITAT Mumbai Judgments — February 2019

The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) erred in enhancing the income by Rs. 4.90 crores as it introduced a new source of income not considered by the AO, without sufficient evidence to prove the assessee was the ultimate beneficiary.

For AYs 2003-04, 2004-05, and 2006-07, the matters were restored to the CIT(A) for a fresh decision on the enhancement of income issue. For AY 2005-06, the matter was restored to the CIT(A) to decide the issue of expenses for commission income. For AYs 2007-08 and 2008-09, the appeals were dismissed as the grounds were general and the penalty issue was premature.

The Tribunal held that the penalty notice issued under Section 274 read with Section 271(1)(c) was vague as it did not specify whether the penalty was for concealment of income or furnishing inaccurate particulars. This defect vitiates the entire penalty proceedings.

The Tribunal held that the reopening was invalid because the AO failed to allege that the assessee had failed to disclose fully and truly all material facts necessary for the assessment. Therefore, the proviso to Section 147 was applicable, and the reassessment order was quashed.

The Tribunal held that the dismissal of appeals solely on the technical ground of manual filing instead of electronic filing was not justified. The Tribunal restored the matters back to the CIT(A) for adjudication on merits.

The Tribunal upheld the penalty order, finding that the assessee failed to prove the genuineness and bonafides of the disputed transactions. The assessee had also not appealed against the quantum addition made by the AO.

The Tribunal noted that the tax effect was below Rs. 20 Lakhs, which is the monetary limit for filing appeals as per CBDT Circular No. 03/2018. Therefore, the appeal was deemed not maintainable.

The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s order, following a previous ruling that expenses incurred by a partner in their individual capacity are not deductible if the business is carried on by the firm. Therefore, the disallowance of expenses was justified.

The Tribunal dismissed the appeal as not maintainable, citing CBDT Circular No. 03/2018 which sets a monetary limit for filing appeals. The issues raised in the appeal were left open for future proceedings.

The Tribunal found no reason to interfere with the CIT(A)'s order, which confirmed the addition on alleged non-genuine purchases. The assessee's grounds of appeal were rejected.

The Tribunal noted that the delay in filing the appeal could not be condoned due to the absence of a condonation request. Consequently, the appeal could not be admitted for hearing.
