Guidelines for compulsory selection of returns for Complete Scrutiny during the Financial Year 2021- 22 – conduct of assessment proceedings in such cases
CBDT extended the date for selection of cases for Compulsory Scrutiny on the basis of prescribed parameters, as communicated vide Board’s letter dated 17.09.2020, from 30th September,2020 to 31st October,2020.
Assessments under Income Tax Act 1961 are made U/S 143, 144, 147, 153. The criteria’s for selection of cases for scrutiny has been increased. While making the assessment the assessing officer has to appreciate all the facts properly. If there is any misinterpretation of facts it may result in injustice to the assessee. Some times when there is confusion regarding interpretation of facts as appearing in a particular case or confusion regarding any law point the assessing officer tends to consult their senior officials like Additional Commissioners or else.
Keeping in view of the Faceless Assessment Scheme,2020 implemented by the Department and the difficulties being faced amid COVID-19 pandemic, the parameters for compulsory selection of returns for Complete Scrutiny during Financial Year 2020-21 and conduct of assessment proceedings in such cases are prescribed as under:
Gain insights into Limited Scrutiny under CASS and its retrospective nature. Understand the reasons behind case selection and the guidelines issued by CBDT.
1. What is Scrutiny? Once the assessee files his return of income, irrespective of whether it is filed within the due date or in pursuance to a notice requiring the assessee to file his return, the department can initiate scrutiny proceedings if it has reason to believe that income is escaping assessment, i.e. income is under stated of expenditure is over stated.
CBDT has issued an Instruction by which it has laid down the procedure and criteria for compulsory manual selection of returns/cases requiring scrutiny during the financial-year 2019-20.
Get answers to frequently asked questions about Section 143(3) of the Income Tax Act, governing scrutiny assessments. Learn about the selection process, time limits for issuing notices, and the difference between Limited and Complete Scrutiny. Understand the consequences of non-cooperation during assessment proceedings and the option to appoint a professional or tax consultant for assistance.
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.
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.
