Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the timing between a draft order under Section 148A(d) and a subsequent notice under Section 148 of the Income Tax Act. While there's no strict minimum time gap specified between these two steps, there are crucial deadlines for providing the assessee an opportunity to respond and for the Assessing Officer to issue the order.

23 August 2025 There is no minimum time gap specified between order u/s 148A(d) and notice u/s 148.

The critical deadlines are for giving opportunity to the assessee (minimum 7, maximum 30 days for reply), and for the AO to pass the 148A(d) order (within one month from end of month in which reply is received or reply deadline expires).
