Telangana High Court held that initiation of proceedings under section 143(3) of the Income Tax Act after 01.04.2021 without following provisions of section 144B i.e. assessment being carried out in faceless manner is not justifiable. Accordingly, orders are quashed and appeals are allowed.
The Tribunal held that when purchases are conclusively proved to be sham accommodation entries, the entire amount is disallowable under section 69C. Mere invoices and bank payments cannot override incriminating search evidence and admissions.
The ITAT held that reassessment initiated in July 2022 for AY 2015-16 was barred by limitation. The ruling confirms that expired cases cannot be revived under the post-2021 reassessment framework.
Chennai ITAT held that reassessment notices issued by a JAO after 29-03-2022 are invalid under the mandatory faceless assessment framework, quashing all consequential orders while preserving the Revenue’s right to revive proceedings if Apex Court rules otherwise.
ITAT found the recorded reasons vague and non-specific, failing to even identify the nature of alleged escapement. Such mechanical reasons render the notice under section 148 void ab initio.
The issue was whether reassessment could survive when sanction under section 151 was taken from the wrong authority. The Tribunal held that approval by the PCIT instead of the PCCIT/PDG is a fatal jurisdictional defect, invalidating the entire reassessment.
Protective addition was sustained despite completion of substantive assessment. ITAT clarified that protective assessment cannot survive after ownership and taxability are conclusively determined.
The assessee produced full details of the share subscriber, including financials and bank statements. ITAT held that after primary onus is discharged, the burden shifts to the Department, which was not met.
The case examined whether exchange data alone could justify taxing alleged commodity profits. The Tribunal ruled that once the broker admits wrong PAN mapping and identifies the real trader, the addition cannot survive.
ITAT Delhi held that Section 148 notices issued with approval from an incorrect authority are invalid. Reassessment orders for AYs 2016-17 and 2017-18 were quashed.
