The Tribunal held that the amended provisions of Section 55A, which allowed reference to the DVO even when the assessee's declared value was higher than the fair market value, would not apply retrospectively to transactions entered into before the amendment. The CIT(A)'s deletion of the addition was upheld.
The Tribunal held that the AO failed to record proper satisfaction regarding the specific limb of Section 271(1)(c) under which the penalty was being levied, both at the initiation and penalty order stages. This ambiguity rendered the penalty unsustainable in law.

The Tribunal held that the assessee is covered by the India-Singapore Tax Treaty and is eligible for the concessional tax rate. The Tribunal also found the assessee eligible for benefits under Article 24 of the treaty, upholding the CIT(A)'s order.
The Tribunal held that the services rendered were in the nature of help desk and IT support, and did not qualify as Fees for Technical Services or Royalty under the India-Sweden DTAA. The 'make available' clause, crucial for taxing such services, was not met.
The Tribunal held that the Assessing Officer's approach of using average rates was erroneous, considering market fluctuations. It upheld the deletion of disallowance, noting that local rates were acceptable and no excessive payments were made.
The Tribunal dismissed the Revenue's appeal and the assessee's cross-objection. The assessee's appeal was partly allowed for statistical purposes. Specifically, the Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s deletion of additions related to relocation, travelling, and telephone expenses, but dismissed the ground related to club expenses.
The Tribunal agreed in principle with the assessee's contention that disallowance under Section 14A cannot exceed actual expenditure related to exempt income. However, it found that the indirect expenditure needed verification.
The Tribunal, following its own precedent in earlier assessment years, estimated the net profit at 9% of the total gross contract receipts. This decision was based on the similarity of facts and the previous ruling that 9% would meet the ends of justice.
The Tribunal decided that the issue of the most appropriate method for benchmarking international transactions is identical to the previous assessment year and remitted it back to the TPO/AO. The issue of excess provision for interest on service tax was also restored to the AO for verification.
The Tribunal held that the Assessing Officer's satisfaction for initiating penalty proceedings was not specific enough for the additional income. Furthermore, the CIT(A) lacked the jurisdiction to levy penalty on income for which the Assessing Officer had not recorded satisfaction.

The Tribunal, following its own precedent for earlier assessment years, estimated the net profit at 9% of the total gross contract receipts. This was done because the facts were similar to previous years where the Tribunal had made a similar estimation.
The Tribunal dismissed the appeal filed by the Revenue. This was done in accordance with the CBDT Circular which raised the monetary limit for filing appeals to Rs. 20 lakhs.

The Tribunal found that the assessee's representative's statement regarding not pressing the claim might have been made without proper consent. Considering the existence of confirmation letters from sub-brokers and the need for a proper adjudication on merits, the Tribunal remanded the issue back to the CIT(A).
The Tribunal dismissed the appeal filed by the Revenue. This was based on the CBDT Circular No. 3/2018, which raised the monetary limit for filing appeals by the Department to Rs. 20 lakhs, and the present appeal fell below this limit.
The Tribunal held that the Revenue's appeals were not maintainable due to low tax effect, as per CBDT Circular No. 3/2018. Consequently, the assessee's cross objections were dismissed as infructuous.
The Tribunal held that the reassessment proceedings under Section 148 were valid. However, regarding the addition of Rs. 20,07,566, the matter was remanded to the CIT(A) for reconsideration in light of a previous Tribunal decision on classifying suppliers of bogus entries.
The Tribunal decided to remand both appeals to the Assessing Officer for fresh adjudication. Regarding the quantum addition (ITA No. 2085/PUN/2016), the Tribunal reasoned that there was no representation before the AO and CIT(A), leading to ex-parte orders. It acknowledged the possibility of documents not being properly defended and potential wrong appreciation of facts in such circumstances. Therefore, the entire appeal was remanded to the AO, who was directed to grant a reasonable opportunity of being heard to the assessee and to consider the requisite documents. The grounds were allowed for statistical purposes. For the penalty issue (ITA No. 2086/PUN/2016), the Tribunal acknowledged the reasonable cause for non-attendance due to the tax consultant's illness and death. However, it also noted the assessee's duty to make alternate arrangements for time-barring matters. Considering both aspects, the Tribunal found it a fit case for an exemplary penalty for default of non-attendance, but directed that the penalty be restricted to one instance (Rs. 10,000/-) and relief granted for the other five instances. The assessee received part relief on this issue. The Tribunal expressly did not decide the merits of the capital gains computation or the full extent of the penalty, opting for a remand and partial relief respectively.
The Tribunal agreed that the fate of interest charged under section 201(1A) depends on the outcome of proceedings under section 201(1). Therefore, the appeals were restored to the Assessing Officer for fresh consideration.

The Tribunal held that the expenditure incurred by the assessee on repairs was not for creating a new asset and was attributable to revenue expenses. Therefore, the orders of the AO and CIT(A) were reversed.
The Tribunal held that Section 40(a)(ia) cannot be invoked for short deduction of TDS when tax has been deducted, even if at a lower rate due to a bona fide mistake. The disallowance was reversed.
