The absence of a proceeding shifting the assessment from the Central Assessment Circle to the regular assessment circle, as well as the failure to issue notices u/s 143(2) and 144B(1)(iii) of the Act, rendered the order invalid. The High Court observed that the combination of show cause notice and draft assessment order into a single document was procedurally incorrect. The court referenced a previous ruling that such a combination was impermissible, undermining the statutory framework designed to ensure transparency and accountability in assessments. en-us Mon, 22 Apr 2024 14:51:07 +0530 Mon, 22 Apr 2024 14:54:51 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=76796 Validity of Faceless assessment u/s 144 r.w.s.144B - The High Court observed that the impugned order indeed failed to comply with the prescribed procedure under Section 144B of the Act.
