The issue under consideration is whether the conversion of case from limited scrutiny to complete scrutiny prior to receipt of approval from Pr. CIT is justified in law?
The Ld. Pr. Commissioner of Income Tax wants the Assessing officer to look into various other issues of the assessee which were not covered within the purview of the
If the A.O. has taken up the issue of determining fair market value of the property in question as on 01/4/1981 without converting the limited scrutiny to comprehensive scrutiny by taking the prior approval of the competent authority then the said order passed by the A.O. will be nullity as beyond his jurisdiction.
It has been brought to the notice of Board that notices under section 143(2) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (‘Act’) were generated in respect of certain invalid returns of the assessees filed for the Assessment Year 2017-18 through CASS Cycle 2018. As the scrutiny of such returns will pose a challenge for the AO and is bad in law, I am directed to state that Assessing Officers shall drop the proceedings u/s 143(2) of the Act in such cases and reopen the same by issue of notice under section 148 of the Act.
Jurisdiction of the Assessing Officer while making assessments in Limited Scrutiny cases, by initiating inquiries on new issues has to comply with mandatory requirements of the relevant CBDT Instructions dated 09.2014, 29.12.2015 and 14.07.2016, i.e. the approval of the PCIT.
It has been noticed that sometimes the returns are received by Assessing Officer who is not a jurisdictional Assessing Officer as per PAN. The PAN should be immediately transferred to the jurisdictional Assessing Officer, so that further proceedings can be initiated by the jurisdictional Assessing Officer.At the time of CASS run, the data of returns selected in CASS which are falling in category of mismatch of PAN AO Code and Bundle AO code will be auto-transferred (after PAN transfer order is submitted) to PAN Assessing Officer through a scheduler.
The due date of Income Tax Audit is 30th September, 2019 and all the taxpayers are busy finalizing their Income Tax Report. So, what the taxpayer should do in order to avoid scrutiny risk?
Shri Vijay Kumar Vs ITO (ITAT Chandigarh) The main contention of the Ld. Counsel for the assessee is that the Assessing Officer while making the impugned additions has exceeded his jurisdiction. That the case of the assessee was selected for limited scrutiny issue i.e. regarding security transaction. The Assessing Officer could not find any reason […]
The parameters for manual selection of returns for Complete Scrutiny during financial year 2019- 20 are as under.- (i) Cases involving addition in an earlier assessment year(s) on a recurring issue of law or fact:- (a) exceeding Rs. 25 lakhs in eight metro charges at Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai and Pune while at other charges, quantum of addition should exceed Rs. 10 lakhs; (b) exceeding Rs. 10 crore in transfer pricing cases.
Following procedure is laid down with regard to the assessment of such startup entities involving the issue of section 56(2)(viib). (i) Where the Startup Company has been recognised by the DPIIT but the case is selected under “limited scrutiny” on the single issue of applicability of section 56 (2)(viib), no verification on such issues will be done by the AOs during the proceedings u/s 143 (3)/147 of the I.T. Act, 1961 and the contention of such recognized Startup Companies on the issue will be summarily accepted.
