The Tribunal held that the CIT(A)'s direction to estimate income without rejecting the assessee's books of account was not justified. It further noted that the assessee had already offered the commission income in his return, and estimating it again would lead to double taxation.

The Tribunal found that the assessee's Memorandum of Association did not contain any religious objects and that the selection of 'religious' in the online form was an inadvertent error.

The Tribunal held that when an assessment is completed under Section 143(3), it implies that subsequent compliance was considered sufficient, and earlier defaults were condoned. Therefore, the penalty under Section 272A(1)(d) was not leviable.
The Tribunal found that the CIT(A) dismissed the appeal without considering the facts and without granting a fair opportunity to the assessee. The adjustment made by the CPC was also considered mechanical.

The Tribunal upheld the disallowance of expenses, finding no merit in the assessee's appeal.

The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision to delete the penalty.

The Tribunal held that the deduction under Section 54 is to be calculated based on the capital gains computed without applying Section 50C.

The Tribunal held that the issue of whether MAT credit should include surcharge and education cess is debatable and does not arise from a Section 154 order unless there is a mistake apparent from the record. The assessee had not appealed the original Section 143(1) order.

The Tribunal noted that Section 80P(2)(d) specifically deals with interest income from other cooperative societies. However, invoking inherent powers, the appeal was restored to the Assessing Officer to examine the claim under Section 80P(2)(a)(i).
The Tribunal held that the NFAC passed the impugned order without giving sufficient time and without adhering to the mandate of Section 250(6) of the Income Tax Act. The appeal was therefore restored to the NFAC for fresh adjudication.
The Tribunal held that the burden of proof lies on the assessee to explain cash deposits. However, it also found merit in the assessee's argument regarding the non-retrospectivity of the amended Section 115BBE. The additions were directed to be taxed at the old rate prescribed under Section 115BBE prior to its amendment.
The Tribunal allowed the appeal regarding the Rs. 4,00,000 addition, finding no justification for it as the assessee had sufficient cash balance.
