The Tribunal held that Nostro account maintenance charges are not in the nature of 'interest' as defined in Section 2(28A) of the Act. Consequently, the assessee was not obligated to deduct tax at source under Section 195, and thus could not be treated as an assessee in default.

The Tribunal held that the TPO's order was passed beyond the prescribed time limit, making it illegal.

The Tribunal held that additions under Section 153A of the Income Tax Act, 1961, can only be made if there is incriminating material found during the search proceedings. In the absence of such material for an unabated assessment year, the AO cannot make additions.
The Tribunal noted that the CIT(A) had dismissed the appeal ex-parte without considering the merits, despite the assessee raising grounds challenging the additions. Upholding principles of natural justice, the Tribunal set aside the CIT(A)'s order.

The Tribunal held that the AO had conducted due inquiry and accepted a plausible view regarding the non-applicability of Section 43CA as there was no transfer of flats during the year. The PCIT's findings were found to be contrary to the assessment record.
The Tribunal held that no disallowance was required for direct expenses related to investments as they were not debited to the profit and loss account. It also found no basis for disallowing interest expenses given the assessee's substantial own funds and proper utilization of term loans.

The Tribunal held that the re-opening of the assessment under Section 147 was bad in law. This was due to variations in the 'reasons recorded' for reopening and the failure to demonstrate that the assessee had failed to disclose fully and truly all material facts necessary for the assessment, as required by the first proviso to Section 147.
The Tribunal held that the assessee had discharged its initial burden under Section 68 by providing details of the investors, their creditworthiness, and the genuineness of the transactions. The AO failed to disprove the assessee's claims despite receiving information from the investors.
