The ITAT ruled the entire reassessment void ab initio because the 148 notice, issued after March 29, 2022, was served by the Jurisdictional AO (JAO) instead of the mandatory Faceless AO (FAO). Following High Court precedent, the tribunal held that this is a non-curable jurisdictional defect that voids the notice and the subsequent assessment.

The ITAT Chandigarh quashed income tax assessments under Section 153A, ruling that the mandatory Section 153D approval was mechanical and invalid.
