The Karnataka High Court set aside the reassessment (u/s 147 and 148) because the jurisdictional AO issued notices, violating the Section 151A mandate for faceless reassessment. The ruling reinforces that all orders based on notices issued outside the scheme’s scope are void and stand quashed.
The Karnataka High Court set aside the reassessment notices (u/s 148A and 148) because the jurisdictional AO issued them, violating the mandate of Section 151A under the faceless scheme. The ruling confirms that notices issued outside the centralized, faceless framework are invalid and without authority.
The Karnataka High Court set aside the reassessment proceedings, including Section 148A and consequential penalty orders, ruling they were initiated without jurisdiction.

Calcutta HC ruled on challenging a Faceless Assessment order, directing the taxpayer to file an appeal when an objection to the 143(2) notice wasn’t raised earlier.
The Andhra Pradesh High Court definitively ruled that Jurisdictional Assessing Officers (JAOs) lack the authority to issue reassessment notices (u/s 148A/148) after the Faceless Assessment Scheme (Section 151A) was notified in 2022. The court quashed the notices and orders, establishing that the faceless mechanism is the exclusive forum for initiating reassessment proceedings.

The Madras High Court set aside a reassessment notice issued by the Jurisdictional Assessing Officer, holding it void under the mandatory Faceless Assessment Scheme. The Court ruled that only the Faceless Assessment Officer has the authority to issue such notices. This decision reinforces the binding nature of the faceless reassessment mechanism post-notification.
