Petitioner granted hearing opportunity for tax immunity request under Income Tax Act
The petitioner's application for immunity under Section 270AA of the Income Tax Act, 1961 was initially rejected due to a filing delay. The petitioner, facing disallowance of certain expenses, paid the tax demand and sought immunity from penalty proceedings. The Court found that the petitioner was not given a hearing before the rejection, as required by law. Consequently, the order was set aside, and the matter was remanded for reconsideration with the petitioner being granted a hearing opportunity. The concerned officer was directed to issue a fresh order based on the petitioner's submissions.
Issues involved: The petitioner's application for immunity under Section 270AA of the Income Tax Act, 1961 was rejected due to delay in filing.
Summary: The petitioner, an individual, filed a return for the assessment year 2020-2021, which was picked up for scrutiny resulting in disallowance of certain expenditure by the Assessing Officer. A tax demand was raised, which the petitioner paid. Subsequently, the petitioner filed an application seeking immunity from penalty proceedings under Section 270AA(2), which was dismissed due to delay of 48 days in filing. The petitioner claimed the delay was due to technical glitches. The petitioner argued that the impugned order should be set aside as no opportunity of being heard was given as required by law.
The Court noted that the petitioner was not afforded an opportunity to be heard before the application was rejected, as mandated by Section 270AA(4) of the Act. Consequently, the impugned order was set aside, and the matter was remanded to the concerned officer to reconsider the petitioner's application. The petitioner was directed to appear before the officer to avail the opportunity of being heard on a specified date. The concerned officer was instructed to pass a fresh order based on the petitioner's submissions and in accordance with the law. The petition was disposed of accordingly.
