This case review covers the tribunal’s decision for the assessment year 2019-20 where Vikas Gupta challenged the reassessment process initiated by ACIT, Central Circle-32, Delhi.
The reassessment for the year 2019-20 was part of a series of assessments challenged from 2016-2020. The primary contention involved the procedural validity and jurisdiction under which the reassessment was initiated.

The tribunal reviewed the legal precedents and directed a recalibration of the assessed income based on a reduced commission rate, acknowledging errors in the initial proceedings. The judgment emphasized adherence to statutory requirements and procedural justice.
This decision highlights critical aspects of tax law, particularly concerning the rights of the taxpayer against arbitrary reassessment. It serves as a guiding precedent for future cases involving reassessment disputes.
