Faceless Assessment Unit failed to offer personal hearing ...


Faceless Assessment Unit Violates Section 144B(6)(viii) by Not Providing Requested Video Hearing; Order Invalidated and Remanded.

July 12, 2024

Case Laws     Income Tax     HC

Faceless Assessment Unit failed to offer personal hearing opportunity through video conferencing despite petitioner's request as mandated u/s 144B(6)(viii). Petitioner's request approved but no video link shared. Mere creation of meeting ID/link without sharing insufficient to discharge statutory obligation. Faceless Assessment Unit's finding that petitioner chose not to attend video conference perverse, based on no evidence. Order dated 29th March 2024 vitiated for not affording personal hearing, set aside. Matter remanded to Faceless Assessment Unit with directions.
