Union of India gets more time to submit section 144B assessment completion report until December 2025

The HC granted the Union of India's request for further extension of time to submit a report regarding intimation to assessee for completion of assessment under section 144B of the Income Tax Act. The court noted that a Special Leave Petition remains pending before the SC. Consequently, the matter was removed from the active list temporarily, and the previously granted interim order was extended until December 20, 2025, or until further orders, whichever occurs earlier.
