The Tribunal held that reassessment proceedings initiated without a properly signed Section 151 approval are invalid. The notice under Section 148 was quashed, and the assessee’s appeal was allowed.
Tribunal deleted protective additions after finding no corresponding substantive assessment. The ruling clarifies that protective action cannot stand alone under Sections 147/143(3).
Tribunal upheld disallowance of Section 54F exemption after the assessee failed to prove ownership of the residential property. The ruling confirms that deduction requires clear evidence of title.
The Tribunal ruled that once the assessee responds to a 148A(b) notice, the AO must complete the 148A(d)–148 cycle within the remaining time. In this case, the notice overshot the surviving limitation period, making reassessment legally defective. Consequently, all additions related to alleged accommodation entries and loans were quashed.
Tribunal quashed reopening under Section 147 where AO’s presumption of non-filing contradicted the documented return, citing Deepak Wadhwa precedent.
The Tribunal held that reassessment under Sections 147/143(3) is invalid without a Section 143(2) notice. It ruled that using the return filed under Section 148 triggers the mandatory requirement.
Assessee succeeded in cross-objection as reassessment lacked jurisdiction and Section 69C addition was inapplicable, confirming deletion of addition and quashing proceedings.
Tribunal held that addition for alleged accommodation entry could not stand where AO made no independent verification. Genuine sales, banking-channel receipts and tax records supported deletion.
ITAT Bangalore set aside reassessment orders for AY 2015-16 to 2017-18, ruling that failure to issue mandatory notice under section 143(2) of the Income Tax Act invalidates the proceedings.
ITAT quashed reassessment notice issued by Jurisdictional AO instead of Faceless AO. Addition of ₹29.69 crore was invalidated, and Revenue’s appeal became infructuous.
