High Court quashes non-jurisdictional notice under Income Tax Act.
The High Court quashed a notice issued by a non-jurisdictional Assessing Officer in Mumbai under Section 148 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 for Assessment Year 2012-13. The court found that the Assessing Officer in Mumbai lacked jurisdiction as no transfer order under Section 127 was issued for the PAN transfer. Consequently, the notice dated 30th March, 2019 was deemed without jurisdiction, and the writ petition was disposed of. The Revenue was allowed to take further steps within the confines of the law, while the petitioner retained the right to seek remedies if necessary in the future.
Issues: Challenge to notice under Section 148 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 for Assessment Year 2012-13 based on jurisdiction of the Assessing Officer.
Analysis: The petitioner challenged a notice dated 30th March, 2019 issued by a non-jurisdictional Assessing Officer in Mumbai under Section 148 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 for the Assessment Year 2012-13. The petitioner argued that the Assessing Officer in Mumbai did not have the authority to exercise power over them. The respondent was directed to decide on the issue of jurisdiction by a previous Division Bench, but as of the recent hearing, no decision had been made. The respondent had requested an order under Section 127 of the Act from the Delhi office, which was not provided, leading to uncertainty regarding jurisdiction.
The respondent office in Delhi confirmed that no order under Section 127 of the Act could be traced regarding the transfer of the PAN to Mumbai. It was noted that the PAN was transferred to Mumbai on 14th November, 2018, and then back to Delhi on 23rd September, 2019. As no transfer order under Section 127 was found, the High Court determined that the notice issued by the non-jurisdictional Assessing Officer in Mumbai was without jurisdiction. Consequently, the notice dated 30th March, 2019 was quashed, and the writ petition was disposed of. The court allowed the Revenue to take further steps if permitted by law, with the petitioner retaining the right to seek remedies if needed in the future.
