S.R. Batliboi & Co. Vs ACIT (Calcutta High Court) Kelvinator of India Ltd.

ITAT held that since the notice u/s 143(2) of the Act was issued prior to the furnishing of return by the assessee in response to the notice u/s 148 of the Act. Therefore, the notice issued u/s 143(2) of the Act was not valid and the reassessment framed on the basis of said notice deserves to be quashed. We, therefore, quash the reassessment framed by the AO.
The issue of notice under section 143(2) in reassessment proceedings, prior to finalizing re-assessment order, cannot be condoned by referring to section 292BB and it was fatal to the order of reassessment.
HC held that Before parting, we have to note that we have come across series of orders passed by the same Assistant Commissioner wherein reassessment proceedings are initiated after the period of four years and the reasons supplied and the actions taken are not in consonance with the settled law. We request the learned Standing Counsel to supply compilation of the above referred judgments to the concerned Commissioner.

Therefore, no penalty can be levied under section 271(1)(b) for non compliance of notice issued under section 148.
