The Tribunal quashed reassessment proceedings where the section 148 notice and section 148A(d) order were issued by the JAO instead of the FAO. It reaffirmed that post-notification violations of the faceless scheme cannot be cured by participation or waiver.
The ITAT held that reassessment notices issued by a JAO after 29.03.2022 are void, as only a Faceless Assessing Officer can act under the faceless regime.
The Tribunal held that CSR contributions received with strict donor directions and refund obligations may constitute tied-up grants rather than freely available income. Such funds require factual examination before taxing them under section 11.
The Tribunal held that a notice issued under section 148 on 31.07.2022 for AY 2014-15 was barred by limitation under the amended section 149. Reassessment proceedings were quashed as void ab initio.
Applying a liberal approach, the tribunal condoned delay in appeal filing and examined the jurisdictional defect. Since reopening was initiated by the wrong authority, the assessment could not survive.
ITAT ruled that an appeal cannot be rejected mechanically on alleged defects when records show compliance. The case was remanded for fresh, reasoned adjudication after proper hearing.
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.
The Tribunal held that reassessment initiated by a jurisdictional officer after the faceless scheme became mandatory was invalid. The key takeaway is that failure to follow the faceless mechanism nullifies the entire reopening, regardless of merits.
The Tribunal ruled that non-compliance with the faceless reassessment scheme strikes at jurisdiction itself. JAO-issued notices post-notification were held legally unsustainable.
The Tribunal held that reassessment initiated after three years was void as approval was taken from an incompetent authority. The key takeaway is that failure to comply with section 151(ii) invalidates the entire reassessment.
