  9. Delhi High Court · 30 Dec 2019
    In absence of a certificate of deduction of tax at source at a lower rate or nil rate, a payer-whose liability it is to deduct tax at source under Section 195 of the Act, is likely to incur a risk of being declared a defaulter. However, if a certificate under Section 197 of the Act is in operation, such a consequence would not arise. At the same time, the certificate under Section 197 of the Act for deduction of tax at lower rate or nil rate, also benefits the Assessee, who would be entitled to receive full payment from the payer without deduction.

The successor is obliged u/s 170 to file a revised return to reflect the effect of the amalgamation.

    S. 147 Reopening for taxing bogus share application money: One is known by the company one keeps. As the investors have dubious character & are known to have engaged in the business of providing accommodation entries., the genuineness of their transactions with the assessee has come under serious cloud, giving rise to reasonable belief in the mind of the AO that the assessee may have indulged in a dubious transaction to launder its undisclosed income. The fact that the assessee produced evidence during assessment is neither here nor there (NRA Iron & Steel 412 ITR 161 (SC) followed). Costs of Rs. 2L imposed on assessee for wasting Court's time

  12. ITAT Mumbai · 27 Dec 2019
    Income from overseas branch is taxable in the country where the branch is established. The profits of overseas branch are taxable in India, thus accepting assessee's plea. These two divergent views by two different benches of the Tribunal has made the issue debatable. The jurisdictional HC has admitted substantial question of law on the issue of place of taxability of profits earned by the overseas. It is a trait law that where the issue is debatable no penalty under section 271(1)(c) of the Act is leviable, and thus deletes the penalty levied by the Department.

  15. ITAT Mumbai · 27 Dec 2019

  16. ITAT Pune · 27 Dec 2019
    In the present case, some undisclosed business income was admitted to have been earned (Rs.25L) and simultaneously some undisclosed expenditure (Rs.26L) was also incurred which had a direct relation with earning the income.

  18. ITAT Mumbai · 26 Dec 2019
    Merely because the assessee has claimed deduction under section 54F of the Act, by treating the flat as a commercial property, assessee's claim of deduction under section 54 of the Act cannot be disallowed if the assessee fulfills the conditions of section 54 of the Act. Merely because the assessee claimed a deduction under the wrong provision, his claim cannot be disallowed if it is allowable under a different provision , thus directs AO to allow assessee's claim of deduction u/s 54.

    Satish S. Prabhu Vs ACIT

    (2019) TaxCorp(LJ) 20695 (ITAT-MUMBAI) · Section 54

  19. Supreme Court · 24 Dec 2019
    It is well-settled that the dismissal of an SLP against an order or judgment of a lower forum is not an affirmation of the same. If such an order of this Court is non-speaking, it does not constitute a declaration of law under Article 141 of the Constitution, or attract the doctrine of merger. In such a situation, it is open for us to proceed to decide the instant appeals uninfluenced by the prior orders of this Court dismissing SLPs against the grant of relief to drivers placed similarly as the Appellants.
