    GP so declared in the earlier years is not in dispute as there is no finding that in the past, the assessee has obtained any accommodation entries as in the instant year and therefore, the contention of the ld DR that the past history cannot form the basis for estimating current year GP cannot be accepted. Once the past year results have attained finality and not in dispute, the same can form the basis for estimating the GP rate for the current year. It is clear from the details of the GP declared by the assessee for the preceding three years that the average of past three years of GP declared by the assessee comes to 10.22%.

  14. ITAT Delhi · 24 Jun 2020
    In the present scenario where the assessee is dealing in items, which were available in international market also, then same practice has to be adopted worldwide and hence the necessity of availment of management services. Merely because the assessee was increasing expenditure on its personnel and other expenses, cannot be the yardstick for deciding whether assessee had any need to avail the services. It is outside the domain of Assessing Officer to traverse in such direction. AO categorically states that assessee had availed services in various fields, but it is outside his domain to decide whether there was any necessity to avail such services or not.

  16. ITAT Bangalore · 24 Jun 2020
    It is a fact that along with the appeal memo filed in Form-36 the Assessee has also attached a copy of Form-10 filed before the AO. It is therefore, not correct on the part of the Tribunal to observe in the impugned order that Form-10 was not filed before the Tribunal. Apart from the above, also find that along with Form-10, a copy of the Board Resolution of the Assessee trust has been enclosed in which the purpose for which the accumulation is sought is clearly set out as “for construction of temple, 'Upashraya, Dharmashala' and objects of the trust”. It is thus, clear that the order of the Tribunal suffers from an error apparent on the face of the record which requires to be rectified.

  17. ITAT Cochin · 23 Jun 2020
    Financial asset has been described in the Act as share or security and the assets transferred by the assessee does not fall in the category of financial asset. This view is further affirmed by section 2(11) of the I.T.Act, which defines the term block of asset for the purpose of depreciation. The definition u/s 2(11) of the I.T.Act includes intangible assets. Since the intangible assets are covered in the definition of block of asset eligible for depreciation, the same cannot be again covered under the definition of financial asset as per Explanation (1) (i) (d) to section 2(42A) of the I.T.Act.

  19. ITAT Mumbai · 23 Jun 2020
    It is very clear that payment made to M/s Metcon India is a bogus expenditure which was routed through own associated company in order to reduce profit from sale of land at Nagpur. The AO had also obtained external information and conducted field enquiry which clearly proves the fact of not carrying out any development work at Nagpur Land. In fact the position of land was unchanged when compared to date of purchase and date of inspection and this fact was further strengthened by the letter of Jt. MD, MSHCL. The ld. CIT(A) has ignored all these facts while allowing relief to the assessee.

  20. ITAT Kolkata · 23 Jun 2020
    ld DRP is higher authority, therefore AO ought to follow the direction of ld DRP. AO had neither follow the directions of ld DRP nor he had examined the submissions, documents and details filed by the assessee in right perspective, as noted above. Therefore, we direct the AO to examine the assessee`s claim in respect of provisions for bad and doubtful debts and adjudicate the issue in accordance to law.
