The assessment order was invalid as duplicate entries in Form 26AS showed only a minimal discrepancy of Rs. 1,926/- in salary income. The revenue's argument regarding extended limitation period was rejected. The AO lacked sufficient grounds to believe income had escaped assessment. Appellate authorities CIT(A) and ITAT concurred that the reassessment was unsustainable. The court ultimately decided in favor of the assessee, nullifying the reassessment proceedings due to lack of substantive evidence of income escapement. en-us Fri, 06 Jun 2025 08:30:44 +0530 Fri, 06 Jun 2025 08:30:46 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=89159 HC held that Form 26AS with apparent errors cannot constitute tangible material for reopening assessment.
