The Court held that reassessment proceedings under Sections 148A and 148 were void as notices were not validly served and proper approval from PCCIT was not obtained.
Bombay High Court set aside reassessment proceedings for AY 2016–17 as the sanction was granted by an unauthorized officer, holding that approval must come from senior authorities under Section 151(ii).
ITAT Rajkot held that a one-day delay in filing objections before the DRP should not defeat justice. The Tribunal condoned the delay and remanded the case for fresh adjudication, emphasizing that natural justice must prevail over technical lapses.
The Delhi ITAT restored a reassessment appeal to the CIT(A) because evidence was rejected only for lack of a formal Rule 46A application. The Tribunal directed the CIT(A) to admit the additional evidence if the assessee files a proper application within a reasonable time.
An assessment adding ₹17.62 lakh was annulled as the income was below ₹50 lakh, limiting the period to three years under Section 149(1)(a). The Tribunal held the notice was time-barred as it was reissued after the statutory period’s surviving time of one day expired.
Delhi HC ruled that date of electronic upload of DRP directions on ITBA is date of receipt under Section 144C(13). AO’s final order passed a day late was held invalid, reaffirming that physical delivery is irrelevant once uploaded.
The Delhi High Court dismissed the Revenue’s appeal, affirming that a prior approval for search assessments under Section 153D must involve the superior authority’s conscious application of mind. The Court held that approvals granted mechanically or through a single omnibus letter for numerous assessments are invalid, thereby quashing the assessment.
The ITAT struck down the additions, observing that the AO’s jurisdiction was potentially vitiated by a mechanical, consolidated approval for reopening, and the additions themselves relied solely on an uncorroborated statement and rough papers. The ruling confirms that unverified, rough documents lack sufficient evidentiary value to sustain income additions.
The ITAT Delhi ruled that the reassessment was invalid because the issue of setting off prior-year speculative losses was already examined in the original scrutiny assessment. The quashing relied on the “change of opinion” doctrine, as the AO used no new tangible material to reopen the case.
ITAT Delhi held that reopening beyond four years requires sanction from the Principal Commissioner or Commissioner. Approval taken from the Joint Commissioner rendered the reassessment invalid.
