Uptill AY 2016-17, if a scrutiny notice u/s 143(2) is issued, the return is not required to be processed u/s 143(1) for grant of refund to the assessee however, from AY 2017-18 & onwards, a different regime is prescribed by Parliament by inserting section 241-A which required separate recording of satisfaction on part of AO that having regard to the issue of notice u/s 143(2), the grant of refund was likely to adversely affect the revenue. The withholding of refund required the previous approval of the PCIT with reasons to be recorded in writing. Thus, demands in respect of earlier assessment years including the liability as a result of order dated 28.12.2019 being outstanding, the respondents would be entitled to invoke the requisite power under Section 245 to set off the amount of refund payable in respect of AY 2014-15 against tax remaining payable.
The doctrine of mutuality bestows a special status to qualify for exemption from tax liability. It is a settled proposition of law that exemptions are to be put to strict interpretation. Asssessee having failed to fulfil the stipulations and to prove the existence of mutuality, the question of extending exemption from tax liability to assesse, that too at the cost of public exchequer, did not arise. Once it was conclusively determined that the assessee company had not operated as a mutual concern, there would be no question of extending exemption from tax liability.

Even though assessee failed to prove the genuineness of the purchases during the assessment proceedings, he filed affidavits and statements of the dealers in penalty proceedings and appellate authority had not only accepted the explanation offered by assessee but also recorded a clear finding of fact that there was no concealment of income or furnishing of any inaccurate particulars of income by assessee thus the quantum addition under section 68 would also have to be deleted.
