The Telangana High Court held that reassessment proceedings initiated by the Jurisdictional Assessing Officer after implementation of the Faceless Assessment Scheme were without jurisdiction. It quashed notices issued under Sections 148A and 148 along with consequential orders.
Delhi ITAT held that notices issued under Sections 148A(b), 148A(d) and 148 without digital signatures are invalid in e-proceedings. The Tribunal quashed the entire reassessment as void ab initio.
ITAT Indore held that Section 54 exemption cannot be denied merely for failure to deposit capital gains in the Capital Gain Deposit Scheme. The Tribunal ruled that actual investment in a new residential house within the prescribed two-year period satisfies the substantive requirement.
The Tribunal held that reassessment proceedings were invalid where the Assessing Officer ignored the assessees detailed response and documentary evidence. ITAT ruled that such action violated principles of natural justice and reflected non-application of mind.
Hyderabad ITAT held that a notice issued under Section 148 after six years from the end of AY 2015-16 was invalid. The Tribunal ruled that the amended 10-year reopening provision cannot revive already time-barred cases.
Chennai ITAT held that reassessment notices issued after three years must comply strictly with Section 151(ii) approval requirements. Failure to obtain sanction from the proper authority vitiated the entire reassessment proceedings.
The ITAT Chennai restored the assessment matter to the Assessing Officer after noting that the assessee’s condonation petition under Section 119(2)(b) was still pending. The Tribunal held that the decision on condonation directly affected eligibility for deduction under Section 80P.
ITAT Mumbai held that an addition under Section 69A cannot be sustained when the assessee is denied the opportunity to cross-examine the person whose statement forms the basis of the assessment. The Tribunal ruled that reliance on such untested statements violates principles of natural justice and renders the addition legally unsustainable.
ITAT Mumbai held that addition under Section 69A could not survive when based solely on a third-party statement without granting cross-examination. The Tribunal ruled that denial of cross-examination violated principles of natural justice.
The Gujarat High Court quashed reassessment proceedings after finding that the seized loose paper referred to non-agricultural land rates recorded after the petitioner had already sold agricultural land.
