Case Laws Income Tax HC

HC ruled that the block period of six years for reassessment under Section 153C(1)(b) is to be calculated from 28.07.2022. The extended ten-year period is inapplicable in this case. The jurisdictional notice for Assessment Year 2016-17, falling beyond the six-year block period, was deemed unsustainable. Relying on prior judicial precedent, the court set aside the impugned notice, effectively invalidating the tax department's attempt to reopen the assessment beyond the prescribed statutory timeframe.
