The Tribunal held that the AO solely relied on the statements of third parties without providing the assessee an opportunity to cross-examine them. The assessee had provided documentary evidence, including sales register and reconciliation with VAT/GST returns, which were accepted in prior assessments. The Tribunal found no corroborative material to support the AO's inference of unaccounted cash transactions.
The Tribunal held that the reasons recorded by the Assessing Officer for reopening the assessment were not sufficient. Consequently, the reassessment proceedings were quashed.

It directed the Assessing Officer to restrict the addition to the profit element of the alleged transactions, applying the normal rate of income tax instead of section 115BBE.
The Tribunal held that the outstanding sundry creditors represented trade liabilities arising from purchases, which the Assessing Officer had not disputed. Substantial payments were made during the year and the remaining liabilities were discharged in the subsequent year through banking channels. Therefore, the addition under Section 68 was not justified.
The Tribunal held that since the reassessment notice, though dated 31.03.2021, was issued on 01.04.2021, the amended reassessment provisions introduced by the Finance Act, 2021 were applicable. As the mandatory procedure under the amended provisions, including section 148A, was not followed, the reassessment proceedings were without jurisdiction.

The Tribunal held that the Assessing Officer had conducted sufficient inquiry, distinguishing between 'lack of inquiry' and 'inadequate inquiry'. It was noted that the AO had adopted a permissible course of action, and the PCIT could not invoke Section 263 merely for a different opinion.
The Tribunal held that reassessment proceedings against a non-existent entity are unsustainable in law. Since the partnership firm had ceased to exist and its transactions were already assessed in the hands of the proprietor, the reassessment was invalid.
The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) erred by dismissing the appeal on limitation and then proceeding to decide it on merits. Such contradictory actions render the order legally infirm. Therefore, the matter was restored to the Assessing Officer for fresh adjudication.
The Tribunal held that the Assessing Officer's ad hoc estimation of income at 5% of cash deposits without proper inquiry rendered the assessment order erroneous and prejudicial to revenue. Therefore, the PCIT was justified in exercising revisional jurisdiction.
The Tribunal held that the requirement of furnishing Form 10B is procedural and not mandatory. Following the Gujarat High Court's decision, the delay in furnishing Form 10B was condoned, and the Assessing Officer was directed to allow the exemption under Section 11.
The Tribunal held that the reassessment proceedings were void ab initio because the fresh notice under Section 148 of the Act was issued beyond the prescribed period of limitation, as per the Supreme Court's ruling in Union of India v. Ashish Agarwal.
The Tribunal held that additions based solely on 'dumb documents' like WhatsApp chats, without corroborative evidence, are not sustainable. The Tribunal also noted that the assessee was a non-resident, and the alleged income did not accrue or arise in India.
The CIT(A) deleted the addition, finding that the assessee had furnished all relevant documentary evidence. The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s order, noting that the Assessing Officer had not properly appreciated the evidence and that the Revenue's new contentions were not part of the original assessment.
