2022 (6) TMI 635 - AT - Income TaxValidity of assessment - notice u/s. 143(2) was issued by the AO having no jurisdiction over assessee - HELD THAT:- As the assessee being a non corporate residing at Kolkata having income above Rs. 20 lakhs, the jurisdiction was with DCIT/ACIT and notice for selecting the case of the assessee for scrutiny u/s. 143(2) of the Act was only with ACIT/DCIT. Since in the instant case said Instruction of CBDT has not been followed and the ITO having no jurisdiction over the assessee issued notice u/s. 143(2) of the Act, the same is bad in law and thus, the assessment proceedings becomes void ab initio. We, therefore, quash the impugned assessment proceedings and allow the legal ground No. 1 raised by the assessee.
