In bank tax assessments, the Tribunal held that the opening FCTR (Foreign Currency Translation Reserve) balance could not be taxed under ICDS-VI where the Act taxes only current-year income, and a CBDT circular cannot override sections 4 and 5. It also held that section 115JB does not apply to corresponding new banks, and that section 14A cannot be invoked for securities held as stock-in-trade. Reassessment based only on existing records was invalid for want of fresh tangible material, and an assessment on an amalgamated, non-existing entity was a jurisdictional nullity. The Tribunal further upheld relief on bad debts, refund interest, NPA interest, regulatory payments, perpetual bond interest, HTM premium amortisation, wage revision provision, and depreciation on investments.
