The Court quashed the Section 148A(d) order for not aligning with binding Supreme Court decisions. It directed fresh adjudication following the principles laid down in earlier rulings.
The Court examined whether reassessment based on search could extend beyond statutory timelines. It held that the notice for AY 2015–16 was issued beyond the permissible ten-year period. The ruling confirms that limitation provisions must be strictly followed.
The issue involved reopening based on alleged share transfer through a loan structure. The Court held reassessment invalid as the foundational fact was incorrect.
The case involved reassessment triggered by a search conducted in 2022. The Court ruled that reopening beyond the 10-year statutory limit is not permissible.
The Supreme Court dismissed the Revenue’s appeal citing unexplained delay and no merit in challenging the High Court ruling. The High Court had quashed reassessment for lack of facts specific to relevant assessment years.
The case involved reopening of assessment on deduction under section 80P(2)(d). The Supreme Court dismissed the SLP as time-barred, leaving intact the High Court ruling that reassessment was invalid on a settled issue.
The court held that reopening of assessment was invalid since the deduction issue was already settled in favour of the assessee. It ruled that reassessment cannot be based on an issue covered by binding precedent.
The tribunal addressed whether delay in filing appeals due to procedural difficulties justified condonation. It held that genuine hardship caused by PAN mismatch and filing issues constituted sufficient cause, allowing the appeal.
ITAT Delhi held that granting of mandatory approval under section 153D of the Income Tax Act by Additional Commissioner of Income Tax in a mechanical manner and without due application of mind is an empty ritual. Thus, order held void-abinitio for want of valid approval u/s. 153D.
ITAT Pune held that reopening of assessment under section 148 of the Income Tax Act based on audit objection is merely change of opinion and the same is impermissible in law. Accordingly, notice issued u/s. 148 is not valid and is liable to be quashed.
