Query | We are fourth generation Army officers family. My grandfather took out an amount of Rs.Fifteen lakh and sixty thousand only from his SBI pension account between Jan 2016 and Oct 2016 for the repair and renovation of his house. |
Answer | Our sympathy is with you , however , the assessee neither file an appeal before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal nor take advantages of the scheme . Against the rejection of rejection of order under Section 264 , only remedy is file Writ before the High Court. For Availing the benefit of the Vivad Se Vishwas , the valid appeal must be pending as on 31 -1 -2020. If the valid application was pending before the Commissioner as on 31 -1 2020 , then the assessee can avail the benefit of the Scheme , even after dismissal of the Revision application . Refer Circular No 11/ 2020 dt 4 -12 -2020 , Q.No .56 and Ans. Our advice will be , the assessee can approach the Commissioner under section. 273A of the Act , for waiver of interests and penalty . It seems prima facie the assessee has a reasonable case on merit . in case the Revision application was rejected on account of delay in filing the application . The assessee can still file an appeal before the CIT (A) , with proper application for condonation of delay with supporting affidavit , the CIT ( A) can condone the delay . In case the delay is not condoned , the assessee can approach the Appellate Tribunal . In case the application under section 264 was decided on merit the appeal is not maintainable before the CIT (A)

Query | if the show cause notice u/s 279(1) is not served to the assesse then, can still the prosecution be initiated against him ? |
Answer | When an Assessing Officer takes a decision to initiate proceedings or when a Commissioner grants for such proceedings, he has to apply his mind and on the basis of the circumstances and the facts on record he has to come to the conclusion whether prosecution is necessary and advisable in a particular case or not . The Act does not provide that Commissioner has necessarily afford the assessee an opportunity to be heard before deciding to initiate proceedings . The absence of an opportunity to be heard will not make the order of sanction void or illegal as held in CIT v. Velliappa Textiles Ltd ( 2003) 263 ITR 550 (SC)( 567 to 569) . However as per the Income -tax Department’s manual the Commissioner has to issue the show cause notice .
