#DRP directions

ITAT Bangalore rules that the one-month limitation under Section 144C(13) of the Income Tax Act begins from the date DRP directions are uploaded to the ITBA portal, not from the Assessing Officer's actual receipt. The tribunal quashed the assessment order for being time-barred, reinforcing procedural compliance in faceless assessments.

ITAT Delhi sets aside ₹107 crore transfer pricing adjustment, ruling that Dispute Resolution Panel (DRP) directions under Section 144C are binding on Assessing Officers. The tribunal also held that Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) qualify as capital receipts, impacting tax liability for energy sector enterprises.
