ITAT Lucknow held In the case of ITO vs. Shri Rajesh Agarwal that undisputedly notice of hearing under section 143(2) was issued on the last day of limitation/prescribed period for issuance of notice i.e. on 30.9.2011 at 15.19 hours by speed post.
ITAT Lucknow held In the case of Shri Jeevan Kumar Agarwal vs. ACIT that there is no specific provision in the Act requiring the assessment made under section 153A to be after issue of notice under section 143(2). In the case of Ashok Chaddha vs. CIT
The issue in dispute raised in additional ground relating to non issue of the mandatory notice u/s. 143(2) of the Act is decided in favour of the assessee and we hold that the impugned assessment order dated 31.12.2009 passed u/s. 147/143(3) of the Act by the AO as invalid.
Service of notice, summon, intimation, requisition or order (by whatever name called) marks the very foundation and pedestal for the inception of any proceedings of whatever nature and by whatever name called and designated as the pinnacle and ace caveat for steeping into the shoes of legality.
The provisions concerning the recuperative and the penal statutes are always to be construed strictly and stringently as per the profuse principles of interpretative jurisprudence available and codified into analogous legislative spheres. In what can be called as a formal invitation to invoke the jurisdiction of the adjudicating and arbitrating authority
Instruction No.1/2015 Clarification regarding applicability of section 143(1D) of the Income-tax Act, 1961- Vide Finance Act, 2012, section 143(1D) was introduced in income tax act which prohibited processing of income tax returns in case notice u/s 143(2) has been issued (i.e. scrutiny cases). Ambiguity arose as to whether the said sub-section applies to those cases as well wherein refunds have been applied in the returns, however the same has been issued notice for scrutiny assessment.
Several instances have come to the notice of the Board Where due to certain technical or other reasons (which inter-alia included wrong migration of PAN and delayed release of returns by the Centralized Processing Cell to the jurisdictional authorities), intimation in refund cases could not be sent to the concerned assessees within the time-frame
In view of this position, there was no reason why reassessment proceedings should continue as no notice under section 143(2) of the Act was served on the assessee within the stipulated time. Decision of Hon’ble Jurisdictional High Court in the case of Alpine Electronics Asia Pte. Ltd. (supra) and V.R. Educational Trust (supra) would be applicable.
Alpine Electronics Asia Pte Ltd Vs. DGIT (Delhi HC)- Draft order is not the final assessment order and does not result in completion of assessment. Under sub-section (2) to Section 143, the assessee has a right to accept, within 30 days, the draft assessment order or has right to file objections with the Dispute Resolution Panel and the Assessing Officer. Under Section 144C(3), the Assessing Officer shall complete assessment proceedings on the basis of the draft order only if the assessee files his acceptance to the variations or if no objections are received within 30 days.
