ITAT Rules on Validity of Section 148 Notices in Two 2015-16 Tax Cases
The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) has ruled in two separate cases related to Assessment Year 2015-16 that reassessment notices issued by the Income Tax Department were invalid. In Bengaluru, the ITAT held that merely uploading a Section 148 notice on the e-filing portal does not prove valid service to the taxpayer. In Mumbai, the ITAT quashed reassessment proceedings against a woman, citing that the notice was issued beyond the legal limitation period. Both rulings emphasize procedural compliance in tax reassessment.
