Issues: Whether the intimation issued under section 143(1) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 could stand when it was based on an allegedly filed return that was not verified.
Analysis: The return dated 02.10.2021 lacked verification, whereas the earlier return filed on 02.01.2021 was a verified return. A return that is not verified cannot be treated as a valid return for the purpose of processing and issuing intimation under section 143(1). The assessment action was therefore founded on an invalid return.
Conclusion: The intimation under section 143(1) based on the unverified return was quashed and the issue was decided in favour of the assessee.
