It does not permit the modified return to be treated as a return under section 139 or to initiate fresh scrutiny under section 143(2); information may be sought only to verify implementation. Transfer-pricing jurisdiction initiated on the premise of valid pending scrutiny does not survive if that scrutiny notice lacks authority.

The scrutiny and consequential transfer-pricing proceedings were quashed. en-us Thu, 08 Oct 2026 08:45:20 +0530 Thu, 08 Oct 2026 08:45:22 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=104667 Section 170A(2)(a) limits a modified return filed after business reorganisation, where assessment or reassessment had already concluded, to adjusting total income to implement the reorganisation.
