Notices issued by Jurisdictional Assessing Officer (JAO) u/s 148 instead of Faceless Assessment Officer (FAO) are invalid after introduction of Finance Act 2021. Scheme of faceless assessment applies from notice stage u/ss 148 and 148A as per notification u/s 151A. Assessment proceedings commence from issuance of show cause notice.
