The dispute centered on whether DRP directions allow completion of assessment beyond statutory time limits. The Tribunal clarified that section 144C does not create an independent limitation period. Procedural timelines cannot defeat the mandatory bar under section 153.
The Tribunal remanded the MAT issue after noting lack of factual verification on whether reserve withdrawals were credited to the P&L account. Key takeaway: MAT adjustments under section 115JB require strict, evidence-based verification.
The ITAT held that appeals must be filed before the correct jurisdictional bench. An appeal filed before the wrong Tribunal is liable to dismissal at the threshold.
The ITAT held that a notice under Section 143(2) issued by a non-jurisdictional officer is invalid. Such a defect strikes at the root of the assessment and cannot be cured.
The Tribunal held that a bad debt claim involving factual and legal analysis cannot be disallowed during section 143(1) processing. Such issues must be examined through regular assessment proceedings, not summary adjustments.
The case revolved around treating bank deposits as unexplained income without following the statutory mandate of rejecting books of account. The Tribunal reaffirmed that compliance with section 145(3) is mandatory before estimation, and granted full relief to the assessee.
