Rakesh Aggarwal Vs ITO (ITAT Delhi)

In the present case, the assessee did not file the original return of income as well as also not filed return of income in response to the notice u/s 147 of the Act within the time allowed by the Assessing Officer of 30 days.

Thus the issue is whether in case the return filed by the assessee as late as in the month of September, 2017 can be treated as valid return or not. The answer is clearly ‘No’ as even after 30 days any return of income filed by the assessee would not have been taken cognizance by the Assessing Officer. There is no requirement of the law that if the return is filed any time before Assessing Officer u/s 148 read with 143 (3) of the Act, the Assessing Officer should have been issued notice u/s 143(2). The question will arise then that if the assessee was issued a notice u/s 148 of the Act and he does not file any return of income till the date of framing of the assessment order or also filed a return before passing of the assessment order u/s 143(2) of the Act, then what is the stand Revenue should take? In such case, it is not at all possible that the assessee can contest that notice u/s 143(2) should have been issued, in all such cases where reassessment is required to be made. The onus of filing of return of income on the assessee is a responsibility which is cast upon him to be fulfilled by him, if he fails to take benefit of any of the provisions of law the assessee cannot plea that he will not comply with the law and not follow time limit before the Assessing Officer and the Assessing Officer he is duty bound to follow the law even in belated compliance by the assessee.

No section 143(2) notice requirement if no valid filed return filed by Assessee
