INCOME TAX OFFICER, WARD-1(4), RAIPUR vs. MESERS G P INFRAVENTURES, RAIPUR
What did the Tribunal hold?
The ITAT held that the assessment order passed by the AO was invalid because it was framed without issuing a valid notice under Section 143(2) by the jurisdictional AO. Consequently, the assessment order was quashed.
What were the facts?
The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) heard cross-appeals concerning the assessment year 2015-16. The appeals arose from an order passed by the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeal) which dealt with additions made by the Assessing Officer (AO) regarding disallowance under Section 40A(3) and unexplained cash credits under Section 68.
What were the issues?
The primary issue was the validity of the assessment order due to the non-issuance of a mandatory notice under Section 143(2) by the jurisdictional Assessing Officer. This procedural defect rendered the entire assessment proceedings invalid.
Which sections of the Income-tax Act were involved?
Section 143(3),Section 40A(3),Section 68,Section 143(2),Section 127,Section 124
