The return was also processed under Section 143(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 on 09.05.2017. It appears that the petitioner had failed to declare the correct taxable income in the return that was filed on 12.04.2017 and therefore a notice was issued to the petitioner on 31.03.2021 under Section 148 of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
