High Court held that reassessment notices issued without adopting the faceless mechanism prescribed under the statutory scheme were invalid, vitiating all consequential proceedings.
The court held that notices meant to be issued by a Faceless Assessment Officer cannot be validly issued by a Jurisdictional Officer, quashing the notices while keeping Revenue’s rights open.
The assessment notice issued by a Jurisdictional AO post-29.03.2022 violated the faceless assessment scheme, making the income addition void. The tribunal allowed the appeal in favor of the assessee.
Karnataka HC held that a notice under Section 148A(b) providing less than the statutory seven days is void. All consequential assessments, penalties, and demands were quashed as a result.
The key question was whether STR-based information can trigger harsh taxation under Section 115BBE. The ITAT held that without concrete evidence of non-genuine transactions, such additions cannot stand. Both reopening and tax addition were annulled.
The Tribunal held that a Section 148 notice issued after three years was invalid because the escaped income was below ₹50 lakh, making the reopening beyond limitation.
The Tribunal sent the matter back to the Assessing Officer after finding that important objections on land classification and cost of acquisition were not verified. A fresh decision must be made after proper examination.
The Court held that Section 148 notices issued after 1 April 2021 under TOLA for AY 2015-16 were invalid since the statutory completion period had expired and Section 148A procedure was not followed.
The Rajasthan High Court ruled that a Section 148 notice for AY 2015-16 was valid as it fell within the ten-year limit for escaped income in search cases exceeding Rs.50 lakh.
The ITAT held that reassessment beyond four years fails when the reasons do not show the assessee’s failure to disclose material facts.
