Facts

The assessee, a Trust, failed to file its return of income for AY 2019-20. Reassessment proceedings were initiated based on cash deposits of Rs. 4,08,95,292/-, which remained unexplained. The Assessing Officer disallowed a deduction of Rs. 1,08,08,087/- claimed under Section 80P.

Held

The Tribunal held that the notice under Section 148 was issued by the Jurisdictional Assessing Officer and not the Faceless Assessing Officer, which violates the Faceless Assessment Scheme. Therefore, the assessment order passed consequently is without jurisdiction and liable to be quashed.

Key Issues

Whether the reassessment proceedings initiated by the Jurisdictional Assessing Officer, instead of the Faceless Assessing Officer, are valid and whether the disallowance of deduction under Section 80P is justified.
