2023 (2) TMI 1117 - HC - Income Tax


Issues:
Challenge to impugned order under Section 148A(d) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 for assessment year 2018-19.

Analysis:
The High Court of Calcutta heard the challenge brought by the petitioner against the impugned order dated 25th August, 2022 under Section 148A(d) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The court noted that this was the second round of litigation initiated by the petitioner. Upon reviewing the impugned order, the court found it compliant with the principles of natural justice, statutory provisions, and procedural requirements. The court emphasized that once an order has been issued following the necessary formalities, including providing an opportunity for objection and hearing, the petitioner could raise any grievances on the merit of the order in subsequent proceedings. The court referenced a judgment by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Anshul Jain Vs. Principal Commissioner of Income Tax & Anr., highlighting that the petitioner could address any concerns during subsequent proceedings after notice under Section 148 of the Act.

Moreover, the court clarified that an order under Section 148(d) of the Income Tax Act is not an assessment or a demand in itself. The petitioner would still have the opportunity to present a case for discontinuation of proceedings under Section 147 of the Act in future proceedings subsequent to the order issued under Section 148(d). Based on the reasoning and discussions presented, the court dismissed the writ petition (WPA No.22194 of 2022).
