Section 156 IT Act | Stay Granted on 20% Deposit Despite Nil Demand Due to Clerical Error in Notice : ITAT Bangalore
The ITAT Bangalore granted a stay on tax recovery after the revenue admitted a clerical error in the Section 156 notice of demand, which incorrectly showed Rs. 0 demand despite a substantial disputed amount. This reinforces that procedural inaccuracies in demand notices do not extinguish tax liability but may justify interim relief when deposit requirements are met, offering clarity to corporates facing technical mismatches in tax notices.
