Quick Summary

If you've received an income tax notice for rectification of your return from a previous financial year (like AY 2014-15), especially after four years, you have options. You may need permission from your Assessing Officer (AO) or can file an objection if there's no valid ground for the rectification. It's important to note that rectification orders generally cannot be made after four years and should include a reason and an opportunity to be heard if tax is increased. You can also consider filing an appeal against the rectification order.

22 March 2020 You may file objection if there is no valid ground for rectification of mistake. ex. if the reason stated involves debatable issue which requires inquiry. Further, the validity of rectification can be challenged if it is beyond the limitation period mentioned in Section 154 of the Act.

23 March 2020 ROM for the AY-2014-15 has nothing to do with the assessment for the AY-2019-20. ROM cannot be made u/s 154 after 4 years. Further, order of ROM cannot be passed without giving an opportunity to the assessee for being heard, in case the effect is increase in tax amount. You may file appeal against the order of ROM.
