The Bombay High Court held that a reassessment notice issued under Section 148 on 5th April 2022 is barred by limitation, following the Supreme Court’s Rajeev Bansal decision and prior High Court rulings.
The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) erred by relying solely on an investigation report without examining books and invoices, and therefore sent the matter back for fresh consideration.
ITAT held that post-29.03.2022, notices must be issued faceless; issuance by JAO violated law, invalidating the reopening and assessment.
The ₹8.49 lakh credited for household expenditure from husband was deleted as non-taxable. The unexplained ₹17.80 lakh in the capital account is sent back to the AO for proper verification and opportunity to furnish evidence.
The Tribunal set aside the ex parte dismissal of the AY 2018-19 appeal, restoring the matter to CIT(A) for merits-based hearing. The assessee was allowed to present evidence regarding ₹3.74 crore unexplained investment and estimated profits.
The Tribunal reduced commission estimations for sale/purchase and loan entries to 0.40% and 0.50%, excluding intra-group transactions. This ensures compliance with judicial precedents and prevents arbitrary income additions.
ITAT Ahmedabad held that speculative intraday trades are genuine and not accommodation entries. Additions under Section 68 totaling ₹1.25 crore and ₹1.53 lakh were deleted due to lack of foundational facts and proper inquiry.
The court reaffirmed that reassessment notices under Section 148 must be issued via the CBDT-prescribed automated system. Notices issued by local officers without allocation are considered without jurisdiction.
Punjab and Haryana High Court held that a Section 148 notice issued by a Jurisdictional Assessing Officer after the faceless assessment scheme is invalid. The notice contravened Section 151A and the 2022 e-Assessment scheme. The court quashed the notice with directions to follow statutory faceless procedure.
The petitioner challenged an Income Tax Order under Sections 144/144B for failure to respond to notices. The Madras HC allowed a fresh opportunity to submit replies and documents, directing compliance and a charitable payment.
