Detailed Analysis:
Hexaware Technologies Limited, engaged in information technology consulting, software development, and business process services, had claimed deductions under sections 10AA and 80JJA of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The assessment for the relevant year had been completed under section 143(3) of the Act. Subsequently, a reassessment notice was issued under section 148 of the Act on April 8, 2021.

The High Court, in a previous judgment, upheld the petitioner’s contention, declaring the notice invalid. However, the Supreme Court, in a related case, provided directives regarding reassessment proceedings post-April 1, 2021, treating them under Section 148A(b) of the Act.
