ITAT quashes ₹50 lakh tax reassessment over late notice
In short
A Surat ITAT panel quashed reassessment proceedings in a ₹50 lakh income-tax disclosure case after finding the section 148 notice was sent after the legal deadline.
A bank error also delayed part of the taxpayer’s payment. The ruling matters because it stopped the reassessment, but the final tax outcome and any next step by the department are not stated.
What the reporting says

The publisher-supplied summary also says a bank error delayed part of the taxpayer’s tax payment. The immediate consequence is that the reassessment was set aside, while the exact tax demand outcome and further departmental action are not stated.
Why it matters
