Facts
The assessee's appeal challenged the disallowance of deduction under Section 80P by the CPC, confirmed by the CIT(A), for Assessment Year 2018-19. The disallowance was made because the assessee's return of income was filed beyond the due date specified under Section 139(1).
Held
The Tribunal ruled that the amendment to Section 143(1)(a)(v), enabling prima facie disallowance of Section 80P deduction for belated returns, was effective from Assessment Year 2021-22, not 2018-19. Therefore, for AY 2018-19, such a disallowance under Section 143(1)(a)(v) was not permissible, and the orders of the lower authorities were set aside.
Key Issues
Whether the disallowance of deduction under Section 80P for a belated return for Assessment Year 2018-19 was valid under Section 143(1)(a)(v) given the effective date of the relevant statutory amendment.
