of <h1>Appellate Tribunal affirms Income Tax Commissioner's order for fresh assessment under section 50C, stresses compliance and pandemic extensions.</h1> <h3>Ajaykumar Satyapal Singh Versus CIT-IT-4 Mumbai</h3> Ajaykumar Satyapal Singh Versus CIT-IT-4 Mumbai - TMI Issues:1. Validity of revision proceeding under section 263 of the Income Tax Act.2. Application of section 50C in the assessment order.3. Consideration of valuation issues in the assessment process.4. Impact of COVID-19 on time barring dates for legal proceedings.Issue 1: The validity of the revision proceeding under section 263 was challenged by the assessee on the grounds of time limitation. The assessee argued that the notice issued was beyond the stipulated time frame due to the reassessment order. However, the Commissioner of Income Tax (CIT) extended the time limit for issuing the notice due to the COVID-19 pandemic, dismissing the objection raised by the assessee.Issue 2: The application of section 50C in the assessment order was a key point of contention. The CIT observed that the assessee had undervalued a property in the return of income, leading to an incorrect calculation of Short Term Capital Gain. The CIT directed the Assessing Officer (AO) to make a fresh assessment, considering the correct valuation as per section 50C, which was not applied in the initial assessment order.Issue 3: The assessment process was criticized for not addressing the valuation issues properly. The AO did not make inquiries regarding the application of section 50C, resulting in an erroneous assessment that was prejudicial to the revenue's interest. The CIT referred to various legal precedents and directed the AO to conduct a fresh assessment, taking into account all relevant facts and legal provisions.Issue 4: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on time barring dates for legal proceedings was highlighted. The CIT extended the time limit for issuing notices and conducting proceedings in light of the pandemic situation, emphasizing the need for compliance with revised timelines due to the exceptional circumstances.In conclusion, the Appellate Tribunal upheld the CIT's order directing a fresh assessment by the AO, considering the correct application of section 50C and providing the assessee with an opportunity to be heard. The appeal filed by the assessee was dismissed, emphasizing the importance of following legal provisions and conducting assessments accurately to safeguard the revenue's interests.
