This case, identified by ITA No. 2754/DEL/2022, involves the reassessment for the assessment year 2018-19, which was part of a series of reassessments for various years. Vikas Gupta, the appellant, challenged the validity of the reassessment proceedings initiated by the ACIT, Central Circle-32, New Delhi.
The primary issues revolved around the authority and procedural correctness of initiating reassessments beyond the four-year period stipulated by the Income Tax Act, particularly in the absence of any tangible new information justifying such a measure.
The tribunal’s decision was influenced by previous judgments and aimed to address the concerns about jurisdictional overreach and procedural adherence. It examined whether the reassessment was based on substantive grounds or mere suspicions, ultimately directing a modification in the reassessment procedure and recalculating the income based on a reduced commission rate.
The tribunal partly allowed the appeal, setting important precedents regarding the limitations and requirements for reassessment proceedings. This case serves as a critical reference for similar disputes, highlighting the need for clear and justifiable grounds for reassessment.
