Tribunal could not recall and restore an appeal dismissed ex parte under Rule 24 of the ITAT Rules, 1963, when assessee filed miscellaneous applications after a lapse of 14 years without establishing sufficient cause for non-appearance, and where service of the original order was presumed under section 27 of the General Clauses Act as the term “afterwards” used in Rule 24 of the ITAT Rules provided procedural flexibility but did not grant an indefinite timeline.
The Tribunal held that a land sale completed before 01.07.2012 could not be subjected to a DVO reference under the amended Section 55A. Since the valuation reference was invalid, the long-term capital gains addition was deleted.
Mumbai ITAT held that income from house property can be assessed only in the hands of an owner or deemed owner under the Income-tax Act. Since ownership of the land and building remained with MSRTC, lease receipts could not be taxed under the house property head.
ITAT Delhi ruled that the holding period for capital gains purposes began from the date of full payment and transfer of possession under the agreement to sell, not the later registration date. The property was therefore treated as a long-term capital asset.
The Supreme Court held that grants disbursed by a statutory corporation formed part of its core business functions and qualified as deductible revenue expenditure. The ruling clarified that such grants were not mere application of income.
ITAT observed that Assessing Officer had treated jewellery sale proceeds as unexplained mainly because no wealth tax returns were filed. Tribunal restored the matter for fresh examination in light of supporting vouchers and legal precedents.

The New Tax Regime restricts Section 24(b) benefits, disallowing set-off of home loan interest against salary income. Taxpayers must compare regimes carefully before opting.
