Prior intimation under the first proviso to section 143(1)(a) is mandatory before making a proposed adjustment to deny a claimed concessional tax rate under section 115BAB. Where the CPC disallowed the concessional rate and applied the normal rate without first issuing intimation and considering the assessee's response, the adjustment was treated as invalid in law.
