Section 148A IT Act | Condonation of Delay & Reassessment Validity Require Independent Adjudication : ITAT Mumbai
ITAT Mumbai rules that the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) must independently adjudicate both the condonation of delay in filing appeals and the validity of reassessment proceedings under Section 148A of the Income Tax Act. The order sets aside the CIT(A)'s failure to apply this dual-test standard, restoring the appeal for fresh consideration and reinforcing procedural safeguards in tax disputes.
