Sh. Shridhar Bedi through Legal Heir Vs ITO (ITAT Amritsar)

Proper notice u/s 148 of the Act for initiating reassessment proceeding is not a mere procedural requirement but the service of the prescribed notice on the assessee is a condition precedent to the validity of any of the reassessment made u/s 147. It is settled law that if no notice is issued or if the notice issued is shown to be invalid then proceedings initiated and carried by the Income Tax Officer without a notice or in pursuance of invalid notice would be illegal and void and shall vitiate the entire proceedings.Please become a Premium member.
