Applying precedent distinguishing clerical errors from jurisdictional defects, the court held that an assessment framed in the name and PAN of an amalgamating non existent entity constitutes a substantive illegality and is void ab initio. Because the assessing officer had been informed of the amalgamation before the final order, the defect was held to be jurisdictional and not a curable procedural mistake; statutory remedial provision Section 292B and alleged ITBA/system glitches cannot validate such an assessment. The tribunal's quashing of the final assessment was therefore sustained and the appeal dismissed.
