ITAT Ahmedabad ruled that a notice under section 148 issued beyond the statutory period is invalid, quashing a ₹115 crore reassessment of a share-trading company. The Tribunal emphasized adherence to “surviving time” limits, making the reassessment void.

The Tribunal found that the Section 148 notice appeared on the portal after 31.03.2021, raising doubts about its validity. The matter was restored to CIT(A)/NFAC for fresh consideration, allowing the assessee to submit explanations. The ruling underscores strict compliance with notice issuance requirements under Section 148.
Andhra Pradesh High Court held that notices issued under Sections 148-A and 148 outside the faceless assessment scheme are illegal, emphasizing strict compliance with Section 151(A) and E-Assessment Scheme, 2022.

Tribunal ruled that a 148 notice issued on 03.04.2022 for AY 2015-16 violated Section 149(1)(b)’s six-year limitation, rendering entire reassessment void. The is that notices issued after 31.03.2022 for AY 2015-16 are invalid.
Court held that reopening was invalid because officer ignored that depreciation on goodwill had already been accepted in earlier scrutiny assessments. It ruled that reassessment cannot be based solely on audit objections without independent evaluation.
