  1. ITAT Pune · 27 Jan 2021
    As the scope of Royalty came to be expanded after the close of the financial year, the same could not have triggered disallowance u/s.40(a)(ia).

    Barclays Technology Centre India Pvt. Ltd Vs DCIT

    (2021) TaxCorp(LJ) 26074 (ITAT-PUNE) · Section 40(a)(ia)

  2. Delhi High Court · 27 Jan 2021
    S. 10(38) Bogus Capital Gains from Penny Stock: The fact that there was an astounding 4849.2% jump in the share price within two years, which is not supported by the financials, does not justify the AO's conclusion that the assessee converted unaccounted money into fictitious exempt LTCG to evade taxes. The finding is unsupported by material on record & is purely an assumption based on conjecture. The theory of human behavior and preponderance of probabilities, based on Sumati Dayal v. CIT 214 ITR 801 (SC), cannot be cited as a basis to turn a blind eye to the evidence

    PCIT vs. Smt. Krishna Devi

    (2021) TaxCorp(LJ) 26073 (HC-DELHI) · Section 10(38)

  3. Patna High Court · 27 Jan 2021
    S. 482 CrPC: Prosecution launched in 2008 u/s 276C, 277 & 278B of the Income-tax Act, 1961 for alleged tax evasion in AY 1994-95 deserves to be quashed because the assessee has paid the tax and the penalty & also taking into account the year in which the alleged offence was committed. The assessee has been paying income-tax regularly & has not been prosecuted for any false disclosure either earlier or thereafter. It would only be in the nature of harassment to the petitioners, and an abuse of the process of the Court, if this case is allowed to be continued. (Note: The Supreme Court has directed issue of notice on the Dept's SLP)

    Prabir Kumar Shaw vs. UOI

    (2021) TaxCorp(LJ) 26072 (HC-PATNA) · Sections 276C, 277, 278B

  4. ITAT Delhi · 27 Jan 2021
    S. 153D: The approving authority (JCIT) has to give approval for "each" assessment year after applying independent mind to the material on record to see whether the cases are un-abated or abated assessments and their effect. However, the JCIT has granted common approval for all AYs. Further, he did not have the seized material nor the appraisal report or other material at the time of granting approval. Therefore, the approval granted is merely technical approval just to complete the formality and without application of mind. The approval has been granted without application of mind and is invalid, bad in Law and is liable to be quashed

    Sanjay Duggal vs. ACIT

    (2021) TaxCorp(LJ) 26071 (ITAT-DELHI) · Section 153D

  5. ITAT Lucknow · 27 Jan 2021
    S. 10(38) Bogus Capital Gains from Penny Stocks: The documents demonstrates that the assessee had purchased shares through Brokers for which the payment was made through banking channels. The assessee had sold shares through an authorized stock broker and payment was received through baking channels after deduction of STT. The AO has not doubted any of the documents. The only objection raised is that the script from which the assessee had earned Long Term Capital Gain has been held by the Investigation Wing of the Revenue to be a paper entity and that this scrip was being used for creating artificial capital gain. The objection is not acceptable (Udit Kalra (Delhi High Court) distinguished)
