The appellant, a partnership firm, failed to file the income tax return for the assessment year within the specified period, leading to assessment as an "association of persons" under Section 184(5) of the Act. The Court rejected the appellant's argument that best judgment assessment under Section 144 was necessary, emphasizing that the failure to file the return within the specified time triggered Section 184(5), justifying the denial of status as a "firm." The appeal was dismissed, affirming the Commissioner's order. en-us Tue, 29 Jan 2008 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 12 Oct 2016 18:53:56 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=187181 The Court upheld the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal's decision to deny the appellant's status as a "firm" under Section 260A of the Income Tax Act.
