It also needs to be clarified that in Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd. v. Chairman, CBDT [2000] 246 ITR 173 the Division Bench of this Court opined that an intimation under section 143(1) (a) cannot be treated to be an order of assessment. Therefore, although the assessment had been completed under section 143(1) (a), recourse could be taken to section 147. In that case while finalising assessment for the assessment year 1996-97 under section 143 it wa…
