Uptill AY 2016-17, if a scrutiny notice u/s 143(2) is issued, the return is not required to be processed u/s 143(1) for grant of refund to the assessee however, from AY 2017-18 & onwards, a different regime is prescribed by Parliament by inserting section 241-A which required separate recording of satisfaction on part of AO that having regard to the issue of notice u/s 143(2), the grant of refund was likely to adversely affect the revenue. The withholding of refund required the previous approval of the PCIT with reasons to be recorded in writing. Thus, demands in respect of earlier assessment years including the liability as a result of order dated 28.12.2019 being outstanding, the respondents would be entitled to invoke the requisite power under Section 245 to set off the amount of refund payable in respect of AY 2014-15 against tax remaining payable.
