Leading authorities on Section 124(3)(6)
The Department cannot be blamed for delay in completing an assessment if the Assessing Officer could not perform their duties due to the assessee not furnishing evidence.
An assessee is not liable to pay interest for failure to pay advance tax when the tax liability arose due to a law amendment made after the end of the financial year.
Cash credits received as share capital and share premium are considered unexplained under Section 68 if the assessee fails to prove the identity, creditworthiness, and genuineness of the transaction. The Assessing Officer can make an addition on this basis.
A revisionary order under Section 263 is invalid if it is based on the same facts and involves extensive enquiry after the assessment proceedings were completed, implying a lack of application of mind during the original assessment.
A notice or proceeding under the Income Tax Act will not be considered invalid due to a defect or omission if it serves its intended purpose and causes no prejudice to the assessee, as provided by Section 292B.
