Tax Authority Must Address Rectification Application by Year-End, Interim Stay Granted on Recovery Proceedings
HC examined a tax dispute involving procedural challenges to an assessment order and recovery notice. The court directed the tax authority to address the petitioner's rectification application by 31.12.2023 and granted an interim stay on recovery proceedings. The writ petition was disposed of without costs, providing relief to the petitioner and mandating timely resolution of the tax assessment issues.
Issues involved: Challenge to impugned order and recovery notice, non-receipt of show cause notice, error in assessment order, non-consideration of rectification application.
Challenge to impugned order and recovery notice: The writ petition challenged the order dated 17.07.2023 passed by the first respondent and the recovery notice dated 25.10.2023 issued by the second respondent. The petitioner contended that they had not received the show cause notice, but the respondent argued that since the notice was uploaded, it was deemed to be served.
Non-receipt of show cause notice: The petitioner claimed they had not received the show cause notice issued on 31.05.2023, making it impossible for them to file a reply. However, the respondent maintained that the notice was served as it was uploaded.
Error in assessment order: The petitioner alleged an error in the assessment order passed on 17.07.2023 and filed a rectification application online on 07.08.2023 and physically on 29.08.2023. The Department did not consider the application promptly, leading to further dispute.
Non-consideration of rectification application: The petitioner's rectification application was received by the Department on 01.09.2023, despite being submitted earlier. The respondent assured that the application would be addressed promptly.
Judgment: The Court noted that the show cause notice was received by the petitioner, who then filed a rectification application due to disagreement with the assessment order. The Court directed the respondent to dispose of the rectification application by 31.12.2023 and ordered an interim stay on recovery proceedings against the petitioner until then. The writ petition was disposed of without costs, and connected miscellaneous petitions were closed accordingly.
