Well how much the above shall be followed or need to be followed in NEW REGIME.
Already the protection to assessee of hundreds of case laws has evaporated with thousands fighting in Courts for april to june 2021 notices.
The type of reasons recorded etc and supplied to assessee would have made him romp home.But the scenario seems changed as appears till date.
The Courts are suggesting to recourse to sec 148A and the appellant are both less than and more than 50 lakh matters and appeal seems disposed in a consolidated manner.
Another bout till matter reaches courts as AO,CIT (A),ITAT wont or cant interfere as Courts held to recourse to 148A.
Next week also Courts orders are expected.
It is high time to ponderin view of above judgement, was not approaching Courts would have been better proposition for maximun number of assessees. AL PROTECTION GONE IN NEW REGIME.
