The ITAT held that reassessment is invalid where no addition is made on the sole ground for reopening, leading to the proceedings being quashed.
Calcutta High Court held that in a proceeding under Section 263 of the Income Tax Act of 1961, the PCIT is empowered to make such inquiry as he deems necessary and inspection of seized assets may very well form part of such inquiry. Accordingly, notice of inspection is duly sustainable and hence writ petition stands dismissed.
The Tribunal held that reassessment for AY 2015–16 was barred by limitation as the Section 148 notice was issued beyond the permissible period. It ruled that TOLA did not extend the time limit and the proceedings were void ab initio.
The Government stated that representations on own merit promotions are examined regularly as per existing rules, with no separate confirmation of backlog figures.
The Government confirms a higher rebate under the new tax regime, ensuring no tax up to ₹12 lakh and outlining revised slabs effective from AY 2026–27.
The Government clarified that the new income tax search provision does not expand powers or permit AI-based digital surveillance, as existing law already allowed similar access.
The new reassessment framework mandates enquiry, hearing, and a reasoned order before reopening. Courts now test jurisdiction on procedural compliance, not mere allegations of escaped income.
India has moved from a uniform ITR deadline to a category-based system linked to audits and income complexity. The reform improves compliance efficiency while remaining rooted in statutory authority.
The Budget cuts harsh tax rates, eases appeal deposits, and extends filing timelines to reduce compliance stress. It signals a shift toward certainty, lower litigation, and voluntary compliance.
The Supreme Court confirmed that reassessment powers under Section 148 cannot be used to bypass the statutory scheme for search cases. The decision clarifies the distinct operating fields of Sections 153C and 148.
