The High Court held that notices issued under Section 148 by a jurisdictional Assessing Officer were without authority when the faceless assessment scheme applied. Relying on binding precedents, the writ petition was disposed of in favour of the taxpayer, reaffirming NFAC’s exclusive role.
Courts have validated the faceless assessment framework while insisting on strict adherence to fairness. The key takeaway is that efficiency cannot override the right to a meaningful hearing.
The High Court rejected the challenge to reassessment notices issued by the Jurisdictional Assessing Officer. It held that the issue was already settled against the assessee.
The Tribunal held that reassessment initiated by a jurisdictional officer after the faceless scheme became mandatory was invalid. The key takeaway is that failure to follow the faceless mechanism nullifies the entire reopening, regardless of merits.
The Karnataka High Court invalidated a faceless assessment because the show-cause notice gave the assessee less than seven days to respond, violating mandatory SOP and principles of natural justice.
The High Court quashed a Section 148 notice issued by the Jurisdictional Assessing Officer, confirming that such notices must follow the faceless assessment procedure.
High Court held that reassessment notices issued without adopting the faceless mechanism prescribed under the statutory scheme were invalid, vitiating all consequential proceedings.
Tribunal held that a notice issued by JAO under Section 148 is invalid, emphasizing that only FAO-issued notices comply with faceless reassessment rules. Revenue may seek revival if Supreme Court changes legal position.
The ITAT concluded that non-compliance with faceless procedure under Section 151A renders Section 148 notices invalid, nullifying both substantive and protective additions.
The Court ruled that Section 148 notices issued by the local Assessing Officer, following orders under Section 148A(d), are legally valid. It rejected arguments that such notices must be issued facelessly under the 2022 Scheme. This establishes that notice issuance and faceless assessment are distinct processes.
