Concessional corporate tax option under section 115BAA survives procedural documentary lapses when statutory compliance and earlier exercise are estab...
Penny-stock additions require transaction-specific evidence; general investigation material alone cannot establish undisclosed income or accommodation...
Search-related assessments initiated on or after 1 April 2021 must proceed under the reassessment framework, rather than regular scrutiny assessment provisions. Where seized material belongs to a third party, the Assessing Officer must record satisfaction that it pertains to the assessee and obtain prescribed approval; non-compliance can invalidate the assessment. For unsecured loans, identity, creditworthiness and genuineness may be established through corporate, financial, banking, confirmation and repayment records, while untested third-party statements cannot alone support additions. Transfer-pricing analysis should respect accepted guarantee-pricing methods and avoid separate interest adjustments where delayed receivables are already reflected in arm's length pricing. Cross-examination, corroboration, and a direct link to the relevant year remain necessary for unexplained-money additions.
