Court sets aside assessment order under Faceless Assessment Scheme, grants petitioner chance to respond
The Court set aside the assessment order issued under the Faceless Assessment Scheme, granting the petitioner another opportunity to provide requested details and allowing for a personal hearing. The petitioner's claim of insufficient opportunity was upheld, emphasizing the need for effective chances to respond. The writ petition was disposed of without costs, with directions for the petitioner to reply within two weeks and avail a personal hearing.
Issues: The judgment involves a writ petition filed for a writ of Certiorari to quash an assessment order issued under the Faceless Assessment Scheme of the Income Tax Act.
Details of the Judgment:
Issue 1: Assessment Order and Response The petitioner submitted explanations and documents in response to the notice under section 142(1) of the Income Tax Act. Despite providing extensive documents, the respondents were not satisfied and issued further notices seeking specific details. The petitioner challenged the assessment order, claiming effective opportunity was not granted.
Issue 2: Opportunity for Personal Hearing The petitioner requested a personal hearing to manually produce voluminous records due to being a Primary Agricultural Credit Society with numerous members. The respondents argued that since it was a faceless assessment, a personal hearing request was not submitted and could not be entertained. The petitioner also raised concerns about providing PAN numbers for all members, stating that farmers may not have PAN numbers.
Court's Decision After considering the arguments, the Court found that the petitioner should be granted another opportunity to provide the requested details. The impugned order was set aside, directing the petitioner to reply to the notice within two weeks and allowing for a personal hearing. The Court emphasized providing sufficient and effective opportunities to the petitioner without citing any reasons.
Conclusion The writ petition was disposed of with the above observations, with no costs imposed, and the connected miscellaneous petition was closed.
