The decisions rel....... + More

Penalty levied u/s 271(1)(c) - assessee failed to explain the excess liability and no further appeal was filed by the assessee against the additions - HELD THAT:- We find that the lower authorities while considering the reply of the assessee, filed in response to the show cause notice for levying the penalty, has not held that the reply of the assessee is false. On independent consideration of the reply of assessee, filed in response to the show cause notice under section 274 read with section 271(1)(c). We find that the assessee has given reasonable and plausible explanation that the accountant has committed mistake while preparing the accounts as the credit note sent by the sundry creditor was not came to his notice and there was attempt for tax evasion as the assessee suffered loss. In our view it was sufficient explanation and reasona....... + More

Allowability of sugarcane price paid over and above FRP price - AO disallowed the excess price so paid by holding it to be the appropriation of profits - HELD THAT:- It is bounding duty of the Assessing Officer to examine the facts and circumstances under which the harvesting and transport expenses was paid to the farmers whether the payments were made over and above FRP exclusively for the purpose of business. The Assessing Officer cannot jump to a conclusion that the payments are in the nature of appropriation of profits without examining the facts and circumstances under which the said excess payments were made. The Hon'ble Bombay High Court in the case of CIT vs. Manjara Shetkari Sahakari Sakar Karkhana Ltd. [2007 (8) TMI 260 - BOMBAY HIGH COURT] held that the differential price cannot be disallowed merely on the ground that it is....... + More

There is no provision in the act for review of the order under section 254(2). By repeatedly filing Miscellaneous Applications on the same issue the prescription of the Act cannot be changed. Thus as ITAT has already disposed off the Miscellaneous Application on the same issue this Miscellaneous Application is liable to be dismissed.

Revision u/s 263 - disallowance u/s 40(a)(ia) - HELD THAT:- Accounts of the assessee had made the assessment in the manner provided in Sec. 144, and thus, after rejecting the book results had applied the ‘average of the net profit rate’ of 8.17% to the gross receipts and assessed his income at an estimated figure. We, thus, are of the considered view, that as the A.O while assessing the income on an estimate basis had at no stage considered the assessee’s claim for deduction of the impugned expenses on which TDS is alleged by the Pr. CIT to have not been deducted, thus, no disallowance u/s 40(a)(ia) even otherwise could have been made. As the A.O vide his order passed u/s 143(3) r.w.s 147, dated 25.03.2015 had after estimating the assesee’s income not separately disallowed the aforementioned expenses u/s 40(a)(ia),....... + More

Admission of additional ground of appeal by CIT-A in absence of revised return of income - HELD THAT:- It is settled law that the Assessing Officer is not entitled to consider the revised claim in absence of revised return of income under section 139(5) of the Act. However, these powers are not restricted to the appellate authorities as held in the case of Goetez India Ltd.[2006 (3) TMI 75 - SUPREME COURT] and the decision of Mitex Impex, [2017 (3) TMI 233 - GUJARAT HIGH COURT]. Considering the factual matrix of the case, that assessee has raised additional claim of excess claim of exemption under section 54B, which has not been examined by the lower authorities. Therefore, we admit the additional ground of appeal and remit the issue back to the Assessing Officer to examine the claim and pass the order in accordance with law. Appeal of the assessee is allowed for statistical purposes.

Disallowance u/s 14A - Suo moto disallowance made by assessee - HELD THAT:- On the facts as narrated above it is clear that ITAT in assessee's own case for earlier years has restricted the disallowance to the suo moto disallowance made by the assessee. There is no change in the facts and circumstances of the case. No reason whatsoever has been attributed by the assessing officer or CIT(A) as to why the suomoto disallowance by the assessee is not appropriate. CIT(Appeals) has referred to the decision of Supreme Court in Maxopp [2018 (3) TMI 805 - SUPREME COURT] for the proposition referred above. From the reference to the honourable Supreme Court by the learned CIT(Appeals), we fail to understand how the same supports the case of the revenue here that without assigning any reason whatsoever as to why the suomoto disallowance proposed b....... + More

Estimated Disallowance of Revenue Expenditure - CIT(A) has sustained the disallowances partly on adhoc basis - HELD THAT:- It is settled law that disallowances cannot be made on surmises and conjectures The power of Ld.CIT(A) are co-terminus. with that of.AO. CIT(A) has grossly erred in not making the enquiry, he was of the opinion should have been conducted. Moreover, the reasoning that the expenditure incurred on building repair, repair & maintenance and labour charges, in this regard bring about an expenditure of capital nature on an adhoc basis is not sustainable on the basis of material brought on record. This is more so, when assessee has already capitalized ₹ 59,22,000/- in this regard. Hence, we set aside the order of authorities below and allow the assessee’s ground.

Disallowance of depreciation claimed under the block “furniture & fittings” - assessee had claimed depreciation @ 100% claiming that they are temporary constructions - A.O. disallowed the same holding that the assessee could not prove the expenditure as could not produce bills & vouchers in support of purchase of furniture and fixtures - HELD THAT:- It is an admitted fact that the assessee has not produced any bills/vouchers in support of these payments. The assessee could furnish details of cheque numbers relating to these payments, but could not establish the nature of expenses for which these payments have been made. Since the assessee could produce rental agreements, the ld. CIT(A) has allowed capitalization of payments related to building. It is a settled proposition that the onus to prove the expenditure lies upo....... + More
