The Tribunal noted that the lower authorities' orders were passed before the Supreme Court's judgment in the assessee's own case (Civil Appeal No.5766 of 2021 dated 17.01.2022). The Supreme Court found no perversity in the findings of the NCLT and NCLAT, which were based on undisputed documents and facts. The Tribunal decided to remit these issues back to the Assessing Officer for de-novo consideration in light of the Supreme Court's judgment.Invoking of Revisionary Jurisdiction under Section 263:For the assessment year 2009-10 (ITA No.158/Bang/2020), the assessee challenged the order of the Principal Commissioner of Income Tax (PCIT) passed under Section 263 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The PCIT had remitted the issue to the Assessing Officer to verify the creditworthiness of the shareholders and the valuation of the shares regarding the share premium received by the assessee. Since the Tribunal remitted various issues in dispute for the assessment year 2009-10 back to the Assessing Officer for de-novo consideration, the order passed by the PCIT under Section 263 was deemed infructuous. Consequently, the appeal for this year was dismissed as infructuous.Conclusion:The appeals related to Transfer Pricing adjustments and corporate tax additions for the assessment years 2007-08, 2008-09, 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14, and 2014-15 were partly allowed for statistical purposes and remitted back to the Assessing Officer for de-novo consideration. The appeal for the assessment year 2009-10 was dismissed as infructuous due to the remittance of related issues for de-novo consideration.
