The Tribunal held that proceedings under Section 201(1) and 201(1A) are barred by limitation if initiated beyond four years from the end of the relevant financial year. Additionally, since the non-resident seller had already paid tax on capital gains, the assessee should not be taxed again for non-deduction of TDS.
The Tribunal found that the Ld.CIT(A) dismissed the appeal without providing details of notices issued or considering the assessee's reply and evidence submitted during assessment proceedings. The Tribunal noted that the Ld.CIT(A) did not pass a speaking order based on available records.
Both the Revenue and the assessee agreed that the matter required proper verification and examination of records. Accordingly, the Tribunal set aside the CIT(A)'s order and remanded the case back to the Assessing Officer for fresh adjudication and verification. The assessee's cross-objection, which merely supported the CIT(A)'s order and raised no fresh issues, was dismissed.
The ITAT observed that the Ld. CIT(A) had not adjudicated the appeal on merits and that no email ID for sending notices was mentioned in the order. Consequently, the ITAT set aside the CIT(A)'s order and remanded the matter for fresh adjudication on merits, ensuring the assessee is provided a proper opportunity of hearing.
The Tribunal held that the assessee is entitled to the benefits of Section 12A registration retrospectively, as assessment proceedings were pending when registration was granted. Consequently, certain capital receipts should be excluded from taxable income.
The Tribunal found it appropriate to remit the matter back to the Ld. CIT(E). The assessee is directed to submit all required documents, and the Ld. CIT(E) is instructed to provide another opportunity, apply principles of natural justice, and decide the Section 80G registration issue afresh.
The Tribunal condoned the significant delay, finding the assessee's reasons (husband's prolonged illness and her dependency) sufficient and factually undisputed. It noted the assessee's claim that the property seller had already offered capital gains to tax, potentially invoking the 1st proviso to Section 201(1). Consequently, the matters were remanded to the CIT(A) for adjudication on merits.
The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, ruling that the late filing of Form-67 for claiming Foreign Tax Credit, where the underlying tax payment in the USA was undisputed, does not constitute 'misreporting of income' as defined under Section 270A(2) and (9) of the Income Tax Act. The Tribunal found no error or illegality in the CIT(A)'s order deleting the penalty.

Consequently, the matters were remanded to the CIT(A) for adjudication on merits.
The Tribunal found that the CIT(E) had casually rejected the application without discussing the details and records submitted by the assessee. Consequently, the impugned order of the CIT(E) was set aside, and the matter was remanded for fresh adjudication, allowing the assessee another opportunity to furnish relevant details and evidence.
The Tribunal held that Section 80AC, which denies deductions for belated ITRs, was introduced from AY 2018-19 and is prospective, thus not applicable to AY 2017-18. Consequently, the Revenue was not justified in disallowing the Section 80P deduction solely due to belated filing. The issue was set aside to the Assessing Officer for examination of the claim of Section 80P deduction on merits.
The Tribunal upheld the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) (CIT(A))'s decision to delete the addition. It ruled that the AO relied solely on a third-party statement without further inquiry or providing cross-examination. The assessee had satisfactorily explained the identity, capacity, and genuineness of the share application money received, and the AO failed to rebut these claims with corroborative evidence, thus rendering the Section 68 addition unjustified.
The Tribunal observed that the CIT(E)'s rejection was based on a lack of information rather than a conclusive finding on the merits of the application. Consequently, the Tribunal remanded the case back to the CIT(E) to provide the assessee with another opportunity to produce the necessary information and evidences for proper verification and adjudication.
The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal noted that the rejection was primarily due to non-submission of necessary information, not a conclusive finding on merits. Considering the assessee's readiness to provide the details, the Tribunal remanded the case back to the Ld.CIT(E) for fresh adjudication, granting the assessee another opportunity to furnish the required information and evidence.
The Tribunal noted that the assessee provided documents detailing cash collections from members through agents and their deposit into bank accounts. However, the CIT(A) neither discussed the evidentiary value of these documents nor identified deficiencies. Considering a similar case for AY 2018-19 where such deposits were accepted, the Tribunal found a fresh verification necessary.
The Tribunal held that the Ld. CIT(E) had not properly appreciated the documents submitted by the assessee and had not given the assessee an adequate opportunity of being heard. The Tribunal found that the assessee had filed all necessary documents, including details of charitable activities and audited financial statements. It noted that the Ld. CIT(E)'s order was non-speaking and lacked specific reasoning for rejecting the applications. The Tribunal considered the rejection of applications for registration under Section 12AB and approval under Section 80G without assigning specific reasons to be arbitrary and against the principles of natural justice. Therefore, in the interest of justice, the Tribunal set aside the orders of the Ld. CIT(E) and remanded the matters back to the Ld. CIT(E) for fresh adjudication, with a direction to provide an appropriate opportunity of being heard to the assessee before deciding the issue. The appeals were allowed for statistical purposes.

The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal upheld the decision of the Ld. First Appellate Authority, emphasizing that while procedural law should be interpreted liberally, inordinate delays require cogent reasons and supporting evidence. As the assessee failed to provide sufficient explanation or additional material for the unexplained delays, the Tribunal found no infirmity in the dismissal of the appeals.
The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) has a statutory obligation to dispose of appeals on merits and cannot dismiss them for non-prosecution. The dismissal of the appeal by the CIT(A) without applying his mind to the issues was contrary to the law and principles of natural justice.

The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, ruling that the assessee merely signed the development agreement in his representative capacity as a managing partner of M/s. Uma Maheshwari Builders. Therefore, the income, if any, accrued to the firm and not to him individually, making the AO's addition unsustainable. The Tribunal also rejected the revenue's contention regarding Rule 46A, as the development agreement was already before the AO. The assessee's cross-objections became infructuous and were dismissed.

The Tribunal held that the PCIT's reliance on precedents regarding fresh deductions in reassessment was misplaced as the current case involved a statutory TDS refund linked to assessed income, not a new claim. Since the AO's order of granting the refund for excess TDS against Nil assessed income was not erroneous or prejudicial to the revenue, the invocation of Section 263 by the PCIT was without jurisdiction and unsustainable.
The Tribunal dismissed all six appeals filed by the Revenue, ruling them not maintainable due to the low tax effect as per CBDT Circular No.17/2019 and a clarifying letter. Consequently, the assessee's cross-objections for the same assessment years were also dismissed as infructuous.

The Tribunal acknowledged that the delay in filing the ITR, the primary reason for the Section 80P disallowance, was condoned by the CCIT. Consequently, the CIT(A)'s order was set aside, and the matter was remitted back to the AO for fresh adjudication of the Section 80P claim, ensuring the assessee receives a reasonable opportunity of being heard.
The Tribunal acknowledged the assessee's claim of having filed detailed submissions before the CIT(A) that were not considered. Emphasizing the principles of natural justice, the Tribunal decided to remit the matter back to the CIT(A)-NFAC, providing the assessee one more opportunity to be heard and for the appeal to be decided afresh on merits.

The Tribunal held that the rental income should be treated as business income, as letting out property was a main object of the assessee company and the income was reported as business income in its financials. The rule of consistency does not apply when a claim is contrary to facts and settled law.
