ITAT Grants Relief in Two Tax Cases Over Procedural Issues in Notice and Penalty
Two recent Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) rulings provided relief to taxpayers facing large penalties and reassessments. In Mumbai, ITAT quashed a ₹1.46 crore reassessment against a man earning ₹3,500 monthly, citing improper notice service. Separately, ITAT Jaipur canceled a ₹3.99 lakh penalty for under-reporting income due to procedural errors in the penalty notice. Both decisions emphasized adherence to legal procedures over the merits of the tax disputes themselves.
