  1. ITAT Delhi · 27 Mar 2020
    It is a settled law that the deduction u/s. 57(iii) of the Act will be allowable even if no income is earned by the assessee u/s. 56 of the Act.

  5. ITAT Delhi · 03 Apr 2020

    (2020) TaxCorp(LJ) 22600 (ITAT-DELHI) · Sections 271(1)(c), 274

  6. ITAT Nagpur · 06 Apr 2020

    Godrej Consumer Products Ltd Vs DCIT

    (2020) TaxCorp(LJ) 22598 (ITAT-MUMBAI) · Section 115JB

  8. ITAT Bangalore · 15 Apr 2020
    It is not proper to say that if the deduction is refused in the first year of employment of the new employee then for the next two succeeding Assessment Years also, the benefit of deduction will not be available. Such an approach defeats the very purpose for which deduction u/s.80JJAA of the Act is allowed for three consecutive Assessment years.

    Texas Instruments (India) Pvt Ltd Vs The Additional Commissioner of Income Tax

    (2020) TaxCorp(LJ) 22597 (ITAT-BANGALORE) · Section 80JJAA

  9. ITAT Delhi · 30 May 2020
    The trust is belonging to Escorts Ltd , it is the settlor and it is the beneficiary, that does not mean that it is the trustee also. AO has not brought on record any evidence to show that Escorts Limited is the trustee of the assessee. Therefore, the allegation of ld AO that Escorts Limited is also the trustee is devoid of any merit and based on mere conjectures and surmises. Further the sole beneficiary is Escorts Limited and Settlor of the trustis Escorts Limited is the major reason why the ld AO is refusing to recognize the above trust.

    ESCORTS BENEFIT AND WELFARE TRUST VERSUS ITO, WARD-1 (3) , FARIDABAD

    (2020) TaxCorp(LJ) 22596 (ITAT-DELHI) · https://taxcorp.in/FileOpenDT.aspx?ID=83426&Category=ITAT&CategoryType=Zip

  10. ITAT Mumbai · 30 May 2020
    AO cannot reject the suo motu disallowance offered by the assessee on the ground that such a disallowance under rule 8D will be more; that's putting cart before the horse. Quite to the contrary, an AO can resort to rule 8D only when, as per the prescription of Section 14A(2) “the Assessing Officer, having regard to the accounts of the assessee, is not satisfied with the correctness of the claim of the assessee in respect of such expenditure in relation to income which does not form part of the total income under this Act”.

    If the activities carried out by the assessee are visualized Assessee is not engaged in any other activity other than education.

  12. ITAT Mumbai · 30 May 2020
    Geographical difference, by itself, does not render an independent transaction uncomparable with controlled transaction. Geographical location, by itself, is not an important factor for deciding comparability of an uncontrolled transaction, its importance lies in being one of the factors which could affect the market conditions in which respective parties operate.

  13. ITAT Bangalore · 30 May 2020
    In the case in hand, a perusal of the report of the government valuer reveals that the valuer has taken the cost of construction / Fair market value as on 31.8.2006. It is not the case of the valuer that the building was newly constructed on the date, rather, the valuer has mentioned categorically that the date of construction is not known. He even has failed to estimate the age of the building as on the date of valuation.

  14. ITAT Bangalore · 30 May 2020
    The assessee herein is the distributor of software licenses of its AE. Hence there should not be any dispute that core technical problems could only be resolved by its AE. Unless proper and appropriate maintenance services are provided to its customers, it would be difficult to market the software licences. There is merit in the contentions of the assessee that the distribution of software licenses and their maintenance are inter-linked. Accordingly, we are inclined to agree with the contentions of the assessee.

    Had the principal amounts been paid promptly to the petitioners in terms of Section 269UG(1), it is the petitioners who would have got the benefit of the interest on the said amounts, in fact more, considering the delay in making the payments from 30.09.1994 to 21.07.1995.

  16. Gujarat High Court · 20 Apr 2020
    As is apparent on a plain reading of the reasons recorded, while the Assessing Officer has information that M/s JP Infrastructure Limited has advanced unsecured loans as referred to therein to its sister concerns, viz. Gujarat Mall Management Co. Pvt. Ltd. and Aryan Arcade Pvt. Ltd., there is no information to the effect that such payment was made for the benefit of the petitioner.

  19. Supreme Court · 03 Apr 2020
    The notice issued to the assessee shows sufficient reasons to believe on the part of the assessing officer to reopen the assessment but since the revenue has failed to show nondisclosure of facts the notice having been issued after a period of 4 years is required to be quashed.
