Under the faceless assessment framework, specialized units (Assessment, Verification, Technical, Review) must conduct or procure factual verification when complex technical claims arise. The Principal Commissioner found the assessment silent on actuarial valuation of post employment benefit remeasurement, payments vis a vis tax deductibility rules, and adjustments for realized foreign exchange gains to capital assets, with no Verification Unit report or recorded enquiries.
