  3. ITAT Delhi · 03 Jun 2020
    We have two rates for quantifying the additional profits i.e. 0.61% of CIT(A) and 0.51% of the Tribunal for the assessment year 2006-07. The turnover is found increased for the assessment year 2007-08. Considering the same, we are of the opinion that the additional profits at 0.51% needs to be revised marginally. If the same is done, we find the decision of the CIT(A) with 0.61% of additional profits should be considered proper and appropriate.

  4. ITAT Delhi · 03 Jun 2020
    There is no dispute about the payment of the interest and the utilization of the loans received by the business entity. The invocation of the Section 40A(2)(b) by the AO in this case is on a wrong interpretation/application of the provisions. The provisions of Section 40A(2)(b) entitles disallowance on account of any expenditure being excessive are unreasonable having regard to the fair market value. In the instant case, we find that the amounts have been received from the partnership firm by the loan parties and if at all any disallowance is to be made, the same needs to be considered in the hands of the partnership firms but not in the proprietary concern.

  11. ITAT Hyderabad · 04 Jun 2020
    Having regard to the rival contentions and Rule 9B of the I.T.Rules, we find that the assessee is not claiming the expenditure incurred on the acquisition of movies but the assessee is claiming loss due to non-recovery of advances paid. Rule 9B only provides a method of computing deduction available in respect of expenditure on acquisition of distribution rights of feature films, but does not address the sequence in which deductions are to be allowed.

  13. ITAT Chennai · 03 Jun 2020
    It is well settled principles of law that guideline value is only to guide the Sub-Registrar to find out the correct market value for the purpose of collecting stamp duty. Market value is not a constant figure. It may vary depending upon the various factors. Therefore, the guideline value may not always represent the market value of the property.

    In view of the consistent finding of the Tribunal since assessment year 2008-09, respectfully following the finding of the Tribunal for assessment year 2008-09 to 2012-13 we set aside the order of the lower authorities and hold the activity of purchase and sale of shares in question as investment activity to be assessed under the head capital gain.

  15. Madras High Court · 03 Jun 2020
    In this case, the unnamed Chartered Accountant had purportedly advised the petitioner to delay in filing returns. He could also have not signed the report of audit in the prescribed form. It is perhaps the report of the Chartered Accountant who finalized the account for the petitioner later was made available for the assessment and the return was filed belatedly.

  18. ITAT Kolkata · 02 Jun 2020
    Intimation issued u/s 143(1) of the Act does not preclude the assessee from filing a revised return of income. More so, when assessment order u/s 143(3) of the Act was also passed in the present case of the assessee, thus the intimation u/s 143(1) of the Act loses its importance. And we find in this case the assessee has rightly filed the revised return of income u/s 139(5) of the Act within the stipulated time frame as per statute.

    None of the conditions is fulfilled in favour of the Revenue for imposing penalty. As it appears on record that at the very onset of filing of return the assessee explained the reasons for not including the amount in question being 3.79 crores received as “arbitration award” in its taxable income by annexing Note 7 relying upon the content of the India-Netherlands Treaty. Such Explanation has not been found to be false by the authorities below neither there is any finding to that effect as on record. Even assuming the assessee fails to substantiate the explanation, he has been able to demonstrate that the explanation is bona fide.
