... ... ..... not get any undue benefit rather such type of steps would go against him. This suggests that there cannot be any deliberate attempt at the end of the assessee for filing the appeal late or for not prosecuting the appeal. All these things could happen on account of some bona fide lapse either on account of non-receipt of notice or some communication gap. Therefore, in our opinion, ends of justice would meet if we grant one more opportunity to the assessee to explain the delay in filing the appeal and to prosecute the appeal before the Learned First Appellate Authority. Accordingly, we allow the appeal of the assessee set aside the order of the Learned CIT(Appeals) and restore all the issues before the Learned First Appellate Authority for readjudication. Learned First Appellate Authority shall provide due opportunity of hearing to the assessee before deciding the appeal. In the result, the appeal of the assessee is allowed. Decision pronounced in the open court on 27.04.2012

... ... ..... therefore no disallowance u/s. 40(a)(ia) of I.T. Act is to be made. 25. Considering the above decisions and the facts of the case before us, we hold that on reimbursement of expenses by assessee to DTL on account of availing services of employees of DTL as per agreement dt. 15.4.2004, assessee was not required to deduct TDS and accordingly AO was not justified to make disallowance u/s. 40(a)(ia) of Act, particularly, when DTL actually paid the salary to its employees and deducted TDS on the amount paid by it to its employees. The assessee only reimbursed the expenses towards part of salary and conveyance expenses etc. to DTL and therefore provisions of Sec. 194J does not apply to it. Therefore Ld. CIT(A) has rightly held that disallowance made by AO u/s. 40(a)(ia) is not sustainable. Accordingly, we uphold the order of Ld. CIT(A) by rejecting ground No. 2 of appeal taken by department. 26. In the result, appeal of department is dismissed. Order pronounced on 4th April , 2012

Hence, the order of the ld. DRP is just and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case. 7. As the detailed and proper findings of the DRP are not before us, we are of the opinion that without dealing with the grounds submitted before us, the matter deserves to be remitted back to the DRP for proper adjudication on all the objections and grounds raised by the assessee, after fresh hearing of both the parties delivering a speaking elaborate order as per requirement of law and procedure accepted by the courts and also by the authorities working as quasi-judicial functionaries. 8. In the light of above discussion, the appeal of the assessee is allowed and the matter is remitted back for fresh adjudication with above directions to the DRP. Order pronounced in the open court on 12th April, 2012.

The CIT(A) after considering the paper book filed by the assessee gave a specific finding that as per the agreement, the carpet area of the three flats 780 sq.ft. only. He further gave a finding that built up area and super built up area worked out separately by the assessee. On perusal of the details of sale of flats with agreement value, the built up area comes only 913 sq.ft. and super built up area comes to 1092 sq.ft. Therefore, the assessee fulfilled the conditions of the built up area as required by section 80IB(10) and allowed the claim of the assessee. The learned DR simply supported the order of the AO and nothing was brought on record to contradict the above findings given by the CIT(A). We, therefore, find no infirmity in the order of the CIT(A) and uphold the same, dismissing the ground raised by the revenue. 12.. In the result, appeal of the revenue is dismissed. Pronounced in the open court on 13/04/2012.

... ... ..... n individual, and the claim of the assessee is as per provisions of law. Once the assessee is not liable to deduct TDS under the provision of Section 194C(1), the provisions of Section 40a(ia) for making disallowance of expenditure for non-deduction of TDS will not apply. We further find that, it is not the case of the revenue that the expenses are bogus or unreasonable or excessive but the disallowance is made merely for non-deduction of TDS. Accordingly, we are of the considered view that CIT(A) has rightly deleted the disallowance and we confirm the same.” 4. As the issue raised by the revenue is exactly on similar facts in the present case, taking a consistent view, we are of the view that the amended provisions of section 194C(1) of the Act will not apply to the present assessment year on the assessee. Accordingly, this issue of the revenue’s appeal is dismissed. 5. In the result, revenue’s appeal is dismissed. 6. Order is pronounced in the open court.

The ld.CIT(A) also found that all payments were made by the assessee by account payee cheques to the C&F Agent which fact has been admitted by the Assessing Officer in his remand report. Therefore, the ld.CIT(A) has rightly deleted the disallowance of ₹ 14,91,489/-. No specific error in the above finding of the ld.CIT(A) could be pointed out by the ld.DR. The ld. DR could not produce any material before us to show that the amount of ₹ 14,91,489/- did not represent actual reimbursement of expenses incurred by the C&F Agent on behalf of the assessee. In the above facts and circumstances of the case, we do not find any good and justifiable reason to interfere with the order of the ld.CIT(A) which is confirmed and the grounds of appeal of the Revenue are dismissed. 8. In the result, the appeal filed by the Revenue is dismissed. Order pronounced in the open court on 20-04-2012.

If the assessee cannot establish this aspect then, the A.O. is justified in adopting separate peak of each bank account. The A.O. should pass necessary order as per law as per above discussion after providing adequate opportunity of being heard to the assessee. This ground is allowed for statistical purposes. 7. Ground No.7 was not pressed and accordingly rejected as not pressed. 8. Ground No.8 is regarding charging of interest u/s 158 BFA of the Income tax Act, 1961. This is consequential and hence, no separate adjudication is called for. 9. In the result, appeal of the assessee is partly allowed as indicated above. 10.

... ... ..... urselves to accept the submission. The findings of fact arrived at by the authorities below are based on proper appreciation of the facts and the material available on record and surrounding circumstances. The doubtful nature of the transaction and the manner in which the sums were found credited in the books of accounts maintained by the assessee have been duly taken into consideration by the authorities below. The transactions though apparent were held to be not real ones. May be the money came by way of bank cheques and was paid through the process of banking transaction but that itself is of no consequence." In view of the foregoing discussion, we are of the view that the judgment and order of the Income Tax Authorities as well as Tribunal are based on relevant materials and appellate tribunal was correct in dismissing the appeal. The appeal is concluded by findings of facts and no substantial question of law arises for consideration, both the appeals are dismissed.

... ... ..... re and source of the said ₹ 50 lakhs and therefore the appellant has failed to explain the cash credit of ₹ 50 lakhs and which was rightly charged to income tax as income of the assessee. The said investment of ₹ 50 lakhs is rightly added as income of the previous years. 11. In our opinion, the Tribunal rightly rejected the contention of the appellant with regard to the contentions that the Assessing Officer ought to have conducted a further probe by issuing a notice or summons in examining the creditor. When the existence of the creditor itself was not established by the appellant and when he has failed to discharge the primary burden, which lies on him, the question of conducting further enquiry or probe does not arise. Therefore, we do not see any substantial questions of law arising for consideration to admit the appeal. 12. The appeal is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. As the appeal is dismissed, miscellaneous petitions shall stand closed.

... ... ..... post survey period, GP rate should be applied. Accordingly in this case also, we hold that for the pre survey period, book results should be accepted and for the post survey period, GP rate should be applied. For the post survey period in this case, the turnover is of ₹ 22,61,135/- and the GP rate in this case is applied by the A.O. of 13.62 . By applying this GP rate on this turnover, the GP of post survey period works out to ₹ 3,07,967/- as against this, the assessee has disclosed a gross profit of ₹ 3,65,595/- which is more than GP worked out for the post survey period by applying GP rate of 13.62 and hence, no separate addition is called for in respect of post survey period also in the present case. We direct the A.O. accordingly. 14. In the result, this appeal of the assessee is also partly allowed. 15. In the combined result, both the appeals of the assessees are partly allowed. 16. Order pronounced in the open court on the date mentioned hereinabove.

The Tribunal thus allowed the claim of the Assessee in AY 01-02. The facts and circumstances under which the disallowance of interest was made in A.Y 2002-03 and the reasons for making the disallowance are identical. This appeal was taken up for hearing pursuant to the order of the Hon’ble High Court remanding the issue for fresh consideration by the Tribunal. In view of the similarity of facts and circumstances the decision rendered by the Tribunal for A.Y 2001-02 will be squarely applicable. Respectfully following the aforesaid decision we hold that the disallowance of interest sustained by the CIT(A) deserves to be deleted. Accordingly the ground of appeal is allowed. 6. In the result, the appeal in so far as ground No.1 concerned is allowed. Order pronounced in the open court on the 4th day of April 2012

Revenue before us could not adduce anything that the peak credit assessed by the CIT(A) is wrong. We find that the assessee has filed peak credit computation on the basis of transaction recorded in the bank account before CIT(A) but Revenue could not point out any defect in the same. In view of the above facts and circumstances, we are of the view that the CIT(A) has simply accepted the peak credit after AO's remand report. We find no infirmity in the order of CIT(A) in sustaining the part addition on the basis of the theory of 3 ITA No.1767/K/2011 Smt. Madhu Kedia, A.Y. 07-08 peak credit. Accordingly, we confirm the order of the CIT(A) and this issue of Revenue's appeal is dismissed. 5. In the result, revenue's appeal is dismissed. 6. Order is pronounced in the open court.

Revision u/s 263 - Held that:- For the purpose of section 263, it is not necessary for the Commissioner of Income-tax to make a final adjudication of the issues. If he finds prima facie that certain relevant aspects of the assessment have not been examined by the assessing authority, which has made the assessment order erroneous and prejudicial to the interests of the Revenue, the Commissioner of Income-tax is within his competence to invoke section 263.
As far as the present case is concerned, the assessment order passed by the assessing authority is a very cryptic order where there is no discussion regarding certain vital issues arising from the assessment.

... ... ..... , the petitioner has already paid more than 50 of the tax assessed and, therefore, it is unjust and arbitrary to direct the petitioner to pay the balance amount even in instalments insofar as the matter is pending in appeal before the appellate authority. 2. I have heard the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Income Tax Department also. 3. Now that the petitioner has filed Ext.P3 stay petition before the 2nd respondent-appellate authority, it is only appropriate that the appellate authority passes orders on the same expeditiously. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with the following directions The 2nd respondent shall consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 stay petition, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment. Till the 2nd respondent passes orders on Ext.P3 stay petition, coercive proceedings for recovery of the balance amount due from the petitioner shall be kept in abeyance.

In the instant case, the entire expenditure has been paid during the course of the previous year and no amount remains payable as at the year end. Accordingly, we set aside the order of CIT(A) on this issue and direct the Assessing Officer to delete both the additions referred.
