The ITAT ruled that unresolved legal grounds—especially on reassessment validity—must first be decided by the CIT(A). The ₹3.32 crore Section 69A addition is remanded for proper adjudication.
ITAT Hyderabad held that notices issued under Sections 148 and 148A by a Jurisdictional Assessing Officer were invalid, stressing only FAOs can issue such notices under the faceless assessment scheme.
ITAT Delhi set aside reassessment because notices under Sections 148, 148A(b), and 148A(d) lacked digital or manual signatures. Procedural lapses can invalidate reassessments entirely.
ITAT Chennai held that a Section 148 notice issued by JAO after 29.03.2022 is invalid, as the faceless assessment scheme is mandatory, nullifying the reassessment order.
Chennai ITAT ruled that a 148 notice issued by JAO post-CBDT faceless scheme notification is invalid, quashing reassessment and penalty. The tribunal confirmed that only notices issued by the Faceless Assessment Unit are legally valid.
ITAT Chennai annulled the Section 148-based reassessment for AY 2018-19 because the notice contravened the e-assessment scheme under Sec.151A. The ruling reinforces mandatory compliance with faceless notice issuance.
Madras High Court held that the provisions of section 153C of the Income Tax Act will not apply in case of initiation of search initiated on or after 01.04.2021. Accordingly, notices issued u/s. 153C are liable to be quashed and set aside.
The ITAT ruled that a Section 148 notice issued by a Jurisdictional AO after 29.03.2022 is invalid because, under the Faceless Reassessment Scheme, only the Faceless Assessing Officer can issue such notices. The entire reassessment was therefore quashed as without jurisdiction.
The Tribunal held that once the 29.03.2022 Scheme came into force, only faceless units could issue such notices; a JAO-issued notice was illegal, nullifying the entire reassessment.
ITAT Chennai ruled that Section 148 notices issued manually by a Jurisdictional AO after 29.03.2022 violate the faceless reassessment procedure. The Tribunal quashed the reassessment order, emphasizing that only NFAC-issued notices are legally valid.
