The approval was granted in a mechanical manner and without application of mind . Reassessment notice and order is quashed . As per CBDT Circular No. 19\/2019, dated 14-08-2019, it is a mandatory requirement that the Document Identification Number (DIN) must be quoted on the body of the assessment order and demand notice at the time of issuance. A subsequent generation of DIN (either on the same day or the next day) and its intimation to the assessee via a separate communication does not satisfy the conditions laid down in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the circular. Since the requirement of quoting the DIN on the original assessment order and demand notice was not met, they are unsustainable in law.\u00a0 (AY. 2013 -14 , 2014 -15 )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
