                                                   Senior Standing Counsel

                                                   ORDER

In this Writ Petition, the petitioner has challenged the impugned order

dated 03.01.2024 passed by the first respondent under Section 147 & 144B of

the Income Tax Act, 1961 for the Assessment Year 2018-2019. The petitioner

has challenged the impugned order on the ground of jurisdiction.

2. By the impugned order, the first respondent has disallowed an amount

of Rs.86,54,545/- which was claimed by the petitioner as deduction towards the

cost of improvement of immovable property with indexation.

3. This case is taken up for final disposal without counter affidavit of the

respondents as only the question of law that arises for consideration in this Writ

Petition is whether the impugned order dated 03.01.2024 passed by the first

respondent pursuant to the order passed by the second respondent under

Section 148A(d) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 on 05.04.2022 is valid or not?

_____________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

4. The brief case of the petitioner is that the petitioner had earlier

purchased an immovable property (land) measuring an extent of 2400 sq.ft. (1

ground) for a sum of Rs.6,20,000/- on 15.09.2011 together with stamp duty.

The petitioners claims to have invested a sum of Rs.70,00,000/- for developing

the aforesaid immovable property.

5. The petitioner claims to have sold the aforesaid property after it was

built as a distress sale on 29.08.2017 for a sum of Rs.80,30,500/-.

6. The petitioner appears to have received a sum of Rs.36,10,413/-

directly in cash and in cheque from the buyer. The balance sale amount of Rs.

44,20,087/- (i.e., Rs.80,30,500 - Rs.36,10,413) was directly paid by the buyer

to REPCO Bank to settle a loan of the petitioner.

7. The petitioner however failed to file Return of Income under Section

139 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 for the Assessment Year 2018-2019. The

Department had thus received an alert and therefore issued a notice dated

20.03.2022 to the petitioner under Section 148A(b) of the Income Tax Act,

1961 and called upon the petitioner to show cause as to why a notice under

_____________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

Section 148 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 should not be served on the

petitioner. The reason appended to the aforesaid notice reads as under:-

SFT-012 (S) Sale by any person of immovable property SUB REGISTRAR OFFICE MANNACHANALLUR 1 Transaction amount related to the person 80,30,500 & TDS-194IA (R) TDS Statement – Sales Consideration on sale of immovable property (Section 194IA) VADIVEL BALAGANESHAN 1 Amount paid or credited 80,30,500.

8. In response to the same, the petitioner replied back on 28.03.2022.

The petitioner admitted to the sale of the property and the receipt of total

consideration of Rs.80,30,500/-. In the reply, the petitioner has categorically

stated that the sale was a distress sale and that the sale actually resulted in a Net

loss of Rs.15,40,567/- to the petitioner. The Statement of Total Income

enclosed with the aforesaid reply reads as under:-

INCOME FROM CAPITAL GAIN:

LONG TERM CAPITAL GAIN Sales Value 80,30,500

Less: Index Cost of Acquisition (620000/184X272) 9,16,522

Less: Cost of Improvement (7000000/220X272) 86,54,545 _______ 95,71,067 95,71,067 _________ Income from LTCG - 15,40,567

Gross Total Income (A) - 15,40,567 ________ Total Income - 15,40,567

Say - 15,40,567

TAX CALCULATIONS _________ Tax Payable Nil

9. Disbelieving the explanation given by the petitioner, the second

respondent proceeded to pass an order under Section 148A(d) of the Income

Tax Act, 1961 on 05.04.2022 followed by a notice under Section 148 of the

Income Tax Act, 1961 on 06.04.2022. The aforeaid Notice issued under

Section 148 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 on 06.04.2022 was followed with

Notices issued under Sections 143(2), 142(1) & 152(1) of the Income Tax Act,

1961 on 15.06.2023, 16.06.2023 & 26.07.2023 respectively.

10. The petitioner has furnished some of the documents called for and

has also replied back. The petitioner has furnished the Bank Statement from

State Bank of India (SBI) from whom the petitioner had purportedly taken a

loan for a sum of Rs.25,00,000/-.

_____________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

11. The specific case of the petitioner is that the impugned order dated

03.01.2024 has been passed by the first respondent without jurisdiction. It is

therefore submitted that the impugned order is liable to be quashed as it was

passed pursuant to the order passed by the second respondent under Section

148(d) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 on 05.04.2022.

12. The case of the petitioner is that sum of Rs.47,11,000/- was directly

given as the loan by the firm called M/s.JL Properties and said loan was also

repaid by the petitioner for over a period of time. It is to be noted that the

petitioner himself is a partner of the said partnership concern to whom the

construction activities was entrusted over under the Construction Agreement

dated 22.03.2012.

13. At that stage, the total area of construction was only confined to 2432

sq.ft. i.e., 1504 sq.ft. on the ground floor and 928 sq.ft. on the first floor. The

petitioner claims to have additionally constructed 595 sq.ft. on the second floor

subsequently.

14. Disbelieving the explanation and the documents filed by the

petitioner pursuant to the above notice, the first respondent has concluded that

_____________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

the amount of Rs.86,54,545/- had not been properly explained and has thus

concluded as follows:-

4.5 Point wise rebuttal of reply of the assessee including analysis of any case law relied upon:

From the submission of the assessee, it seen that assessee has failed to explain the Cost of Improvement with indexation claimed of Rs.86,54,545/-, even after the final show cause notice the assessee did not submit the evidence to explain the cost of Improvement claimed. Thus, the submission of the assessee has been duly considered but not found acceptable in absence of any supporting documentary evidence with respect to the claim of cost of improvement. In his contention the assessee has stated that the entire cost of construction cost as unexplained investment or undisclosed income is not warranted and requested to drop the taxing proposal in the SCN. Considering the same, in absence of evidence with respect to the cost of improvement the contention of the assessee is not found acceptable.

4.6 Conclusion drawn:

In view of the above discussion, in absence of any supporting documentary evidence, the transactions in claim of Indexed cost of improvement is considered sham/ manipulated transactions and the whole of unexplained cost of improvement of Rs.86,54,545/- up to the extent of sale consideration of Rs.71,13,978/- after reduce the cost of acquisition of Rs.9,16,522/- as suggested by the Review Unit, through which assessee has reduced the capital gain from sale consideration obtained, hence disallowed the claim of cost of improvement and the same is treated as unaccounted income u/s 69A of the I T Act as suggested by the review unit and added back to the total income for the year under consideration and taxed in view of the provision u/s 115BBE.

15. Arguing further, the learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner would

submit that the impugned order is flawed and is therefore liable to be set aside.

The learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner

should be an opportunity to explain the case afresh. It is submitted that the

petitioner has indeed suffered loss and invested a sum of Rs.25,00,000/- + Rs.

47,11,000/- for putting up the construction and that the petitioner had suffered

a loss of Rs.15,40,567/- from the distress sale.

16. It is further submitted that even otherwise, the invocation of Section

147 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 after the amendments was also without

jurisdiction inasmuch as notice under Section 148 of the Income Tax Act, 1961

as also notice under Section 148A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 were issued

beyond the period of limitation prescribed under Section 151(2) of the Income

Tax Act, 1961.

17. It is submitted that the dispute pertains to the Assessment Year

2018-2019 (relevant Assessment Year 2017-2018). It is submitted that notice

under Section 148 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 ought to have been issued on

or before 31.03.2022, whereas, the notice has been issued under Section 148 of

_____________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

the Income Tax Act, 1961 on 06.04.2022. It is submitted that the respondents

have obtained sanction only from the Principal Commissioner of the Income

Tax Department, whereas, the sanction should have been obtained from the

Principal Chief Commissioner of Income Tax Department.

18. The learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner would draw attention to

the proviso to Section 151 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 as it stood prior to

amendment w.e.f. 01.04.2023. It is submitted that sanction prior to 01.04.2023,

under the proviso to Section 151 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 was not obtained

and therefore, there was no jurisdiction to issue a notice without the sanction of

the Principal Chief Commissioner or Principal Director General, or, in their

absence from the Chief Commissioner or Director General, as a period of

three years had already lapsed from the end of the relevant assessment year.

19. That apart, it is submitted that the assessment could not have been

made by Faceless Authority under Section 151A(2) of the Income Tax Act,

1961. It is submitted that invocation of Section 148A(b) of the Income Tax

Act, 1961, on 20.03.2022 was by the Jurisdictional Officer, whereas the

assessment has been made by the Faceless Authority.

_____________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

20. It is submitted that by applying the Explanation to Section 147 of the

Income Tax Act, 1961 in the light of the ratio of the Hon'ble Division Bench of

the Bombay High Court in Commissioner of Income-tax-56, Mumbai Vs. Jet

Airways (l) Ltd., [2011] 331 ITR 236 : [2010] 195 Taxmann 117 (Bombay), it

is not open for the respondent to invoke Section 69A of the Income Tax Act,

1961.

21. Adding further, the learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner would

submit that at best, only Section 69 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 could have

been invoked. In any event, the learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner

would submit that the petitioner may be given one opportunity to explain the

investments made by the petitioner in the development of the immovable

property measuring an extent of 3027 sq.ft. From 2011 with proper records on

the land measuring an extent of 2400 sq.ft.

22. The learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner has placed reliance of

the following decisions:-

i. Kankanala Ravindra Reddy Vs. The Income Tax Officer and others, dated 14.09.2023 passed by the Telegana High Court in W.P.No.25903 of 2022 etc. batch. ii. Hexaware Technologies Limited Vs. Assistant Commissioner of Income Tax and others, dated 03.05.2024

_____________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

passed by the Bombay High Court in W.P.No.1778 of 2023. iii. Martech Peripherals (P.) Ltd. Vs. Deputy Commissioner of Income-tax, [2017] 394 ITR 733 (Madras) : [2017] 81 taxmann.com 73.

iv. Siemens Financial Services Pvt. Ltd. Vs. Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax and others, dated 25.08.2023 passed by the Bombay High Court in W.P.No.4888 of 2022. v. Holiday Developers (P.) Ltd. Vs. Income Tax Officer, [2024] 159 taxmann.com 178 (Bombay).

23. Per contra, the learned Senior Standing Counsel for the respondents

would submit that Sections 120 read with 124 and 130 of the Income Tax Act,

1961 prescribes the Jurisdiction of Income Tax Authorities, Jurisdiction of

Assessing Officers and Faceless Jurisdiction of Income Tax Authorities

respectively. It is submitted that Section 144B of the Income Tax Act, 1961

provides for faceless assessment of various assessments under Section 143(3)

(Scrutiny Assessment), Section 144 (Best Judgment Assessment) and Section

147 (Reopened Assessment).

24. This Writ Petition is opposed by the learned Senior Standing Counsel

for the respondents on the ground that there is a statutory estoppel against the

petitioner questioning the Assessing Officer under Section 124(3)(a) of the

Income Tax Act, 1961 which reads as under:-

_____________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

“124. Jurisdiction of Assessing Officers.— (1) ......

(2) ......

(3) No person shall be entitled to call in question the jurisdiction of an Assessing Officer—

(a) where he has made a return under sub-section (1) of section 115WD or under sub-section (1) of section 139, after the expiry of one month from the date on which he was served with a notice under sub-section (1) of section 142 or sub-section (2) of section 115WE or sub-section (2) of section 143 or after the completion of the assessment, whichever is earlier;”

25. It is further submitted that E-Assessment of Income Escaping

Assessment Scheme 2022 provides for automated allocation. Faceless

Jurisdiction of Income Tax Authorities' Scheme, 2022 defines "Automated

Allocation". It is further submitted that in all cases where return is selected for

scrutiny or where it is reopened, the selection is only by way of automation and

the risk management strategy adopted which alone identifies the cases by using

technological tools. Therefore, it is submitted that the contention of the learned

Senior Counsel for the petitioner is completely misconceived.

26. It is submitted that the entire proceedings either under Section 148A

or the reopened assessment under Section 147 were completely faceless. It is

further submitted that the Jurisdictional Assessing Officer or Faceless

_____________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

Assessment Officer, conduct proceedings only through virtual mode and no

physical interaction is allowed and that is done only by way of E-proceedings.

27. It is submitted that in this case, the petitioner had all along

participated in the reassessment proceedings without raising any objection

regarding Jurisdiction. Therefore, as prescribed under Section 124(3) of the

Act, the petitioner is precluded from raising this objection after the assessment

order was passed. In this connection, a reference is made to the decision of the

Hon'ble Supreme Court in Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax

(Exemption) Vs. Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology, (2023) 454

ITR 582 (SC).

28. As an answer to the above submission, the learned Senior Counsel

for the petitioner submits that the Faceless Assessment Officer lacks

jurisdiction to make addition. The learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner

would further submit that the reopening is with regard to capital gains and

addition is with regard to the sale of immovable property alone and legally,

there is no bar to consider any issue that comes to the notice of Assessing

Officer during the course of proceedings under Section 147 of the Income Tax

Act, 1961.

_____________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

29. The learned Senior Standing Counsel for the respondent would

further submit that the petitioner admits that there is exclusion of time limit

under the different provisions of Section 149 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 but

contends they are not applicable to Section 151 of the Act. It is submitted that

Section 151 of the Act provides the specified authority for the purposes of

Sections 148 and 148A of the Act. Therefore, time limit for issuances of Notice

under Section 148 of the Act is provided under Section 149 of the Act. It is

further submitted that the exclusion of time provided under the fifth and sixth

proviso are clearly attracted to this case.

30. The learned Senior Standing Counsel for the respondent would

further submit that Notice under Section 148A(b) of the Act was issued on

20.03.2022 giving time till 28.03.2022 and therefore the 9 days from

20.03.2022 to 28.03.2022 shall therefore be excluded under the fifth proviso to

Section 149 of the Act. It is therefore submitted that the notice under Section

148 of the Act following the order under Section 148A(d) has to be deemed to

be issued before 31.03.2022 by excluding these nine days. In this case, the

order under Section 148A(d) of the Act was passed on 05.04.2022 and notice

under Section 148 of the Act was issued on the following day i.e., on

06.04.2022.

_____________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

31. The learned Senior Standing Counsel for the respondents would

further submit that as far as the submission in respect to the addition made

under Section 69A of the Act is concerned, there are disputed questions of fact

and therefore the petitioner should be relegated to workout the remedy before

the Appellant Authority as the petitioner did not produce any proof for the

construction expenses and no documents were produced to show the same. It is

further submitted that the petitioner did not prove his claim regarding the cost

of improvement and therefore, the indexation cost of improvement claimed by

the petitioner towards computation of capital gain was disallowed and the

consideration/money received out of sale proceeds was brought to tax under

Section 69A of the Act, 1961.

32. The learned Senior Standing Counsel for the respondents has placed

reliance on the following decisions:-

i. Principal Commissioner of Income-tax (Central)-3, New Delhi Vs. Jakhotia Plastics (P.) Ltd., [2018] 94 taxmann.com 89 (Delhi) ii. N.Govindaraju Vs. Income-tax officer, [2015] 377 ITR 243 : [2015] 60 taxmann.com 333 (Karnataka)

_____________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

33. I have considered the arguments advanced by the learned Senior

Counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondent. I have

also perused the documents filed in support of the present writ petition. I have

also considered the decisions of the courts relied upon by the learned Senior

Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Senior Standing Counsel for the

respondents.

34. Admittedly, the dispute pertains to the Assessment Year 2018-19.

The last date of the aforesaid Assessment Year was 31.03.2019. With effect

from 1.4.2021, the ecosphere of the assessment proceedings had undergone

tectonic changes.

35. The judgement of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in GKN Drive Shafts

(India) Ltd. Vs. Income Tax Officer & Ors. reported in (2003) 259 ITR 19

(SC) was statutory incorporated into the Income Tax Act, 1961 with effect from

the aforesaid date. Not only a notice but also speaking order had to be passed

before issuance of notice under Section 148 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 as

amended with effect from the aforesaid date. There are statutory restrictions in

place.

_____________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

36. As per the 1st proviso to Section 148 of theIncome Tax Act, 1961 as

amended with effect from 01.04.2021, no notice under aforesaid section shall

be issued unless there is information with the Assessing Officer which suggest

that the income chargeable to tax has escaped assessment in the case of

assessee for the relevant assessment year and the assessing officer has obtained

prior approval of the specified authority to issue such notice.

37. As per the 3rd proviso to Section 149 of the Income Tax Act, 1961,

for the purpose of computing the period of limitation, the time allowed to an

assessee to reply to the Show Cause Notice issued under Clause (b) of Section

148A of theIncome Tax Act, 1961 or the period during which the proceedings

under Section 148A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 has been stayed by an order

of injunction of any Court has to be excluded.

38. It is the case of the petitioner that the notice dated 06.04.2022 issued

under Section 148 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 was beyond the period of

limitation as the last date for issuance of the notice expired on 01.4.2022.

_____________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

39. However, if the 3rd proviso to Section 149 of the income tax is

applied, the time between 20.03.2022 being the date of issuance of show cause

notice issued under clause (b) of Section 148A of the Income Tax Act, 1961

and the time given for reply to the same till 28.3.2022 has to be excluded from

petitioner limitation.

40. Therefore, the limitation for issuance of notice under Section 148 of

the Income Tax Act, 1961 will stand extended till 08.04.2022. Therefore, the

argument that the notice under Section 148 of theIncome Tax Act, 1961 on

06.04.2022was beyond the period of limitation has to be rejected it has to be

held that the limitation did not expire on 31.03.2022 under Section 148 of the

Income Tax Act, 1961. Accordingly, the above objection of the petitioner

stands overruled.

41. In this case, the notice that was issued on 20.3.2022 under Section

148A (b) of theIncome Tax Act, 1961 clearly states that the said notice itself

was issued after obtaining prior approval of the Principal Commissioner of

Income Tax Madurai-1 which was appointed on 19.03.2022 vide Reference

No. 100000029738669.

_____________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

42. Similarly, the order that was passed on 05.04.2022 under Section

148A (d) of theIncome Tax Act, 1961, also states that the order was passed

with the approval of the the Principal Commissioner of Income Tax Madurai-1.

43. Similarly, the notice issued under Section 148 of the Income Tax Act,

1961 on 06.04.2022 also states that, it was issued after obtaining the prior

approval of thePrincipal Commissioner of Income Tax Madurai-1 vide

Reference No.100000029738669.
