Do we consider Intimation U/S 143(1) of CPC is as Incometax Assessment Order for submission of proof of Residence in Passport Renewal application?

If not so, what actually be the Incometax Assessment Order, and how to get that.

1. Notice u/s 143(1) cannot be considered as assessment order and it is merely an intimation sent by the department for any arithmetical error, internal inconsistencies, tax calculation and verification of tax payment. 
2. The reason why it cannot be considered as assessment order is all the above activities or verification is carried out automatically by the computer and it does not have human intervention in it.
3. To respond to the above intimation make sure you log in to your profile and submit your response whether you accept, party accept or reject the claim made in the intimation u/s 143(1).
Please correct me if the above solution has an alternative view. 

Sec 143(1) is a notice by the assesing officer.
sent to the assesse
As far as passport renewal application is concerned, I think passport office will surely accept Intimation u/s 143(1)

1. Proof of residence should be the one which is attested or as exclusively provided by the government department. 
2. In this case, it is only a notice sent to you u/s 143(1) and that too it is an automated notice when there is an error with respect to department record and the return filed by you. 
3. Giving the above notice as a proof of residence will not be the correct evidence as far as my angle is concerned. Proof of residence should be some documentary evidence where some kind of background checks were carried out on your status of residence. Now, whatever that was specified in that notice will be based on your declaration and it is not supported by any valid background verification. Without a check, the IT department may accept your status of residence but that will not be enough for calling the same as proof. 
4. Proof is something which is verified based on facts. This is declared by yourself. You can try submitting it for renewal of your passport application. 
Please correct me if the above interpretation has an alternative view. 

There is nothing wrong with an interpretation. Ever citizen has a right to express their interpretation and stand by it till corrected if it were wrong.

The only thing is that your interpretation is just that - an interpretation not backed by professional experience or standing (assumption made on the title - "Student" in your display profile descripttion) to influence others. It's the same logic that you apply to evaluate address verification - lack of authenticity.

In our country, a lot of stress has been put on verification for marriage brokers, gas connection, mobile sim, landline connection, internet, passport and many more.

With the effect that many assume that they are above questioning if their address is "verified" leading to many in this mindset not giving any importance to how big a disfavour, to put it mildly, they do to the country by not filing their income tax, sales tax or property tax or misrepresenting or falsifying the declaration.

The primary attitude from the school age should be to conform to the system and not to the "verification" processes so deeply embedded into every Indian's life. Such is the obsession with "verification" that very few people even bother to check if the bride or groom pays taxes, which should be the first assessment of an adult that should "verify" their authenticity and honesty and not a "verification" that depends on some neighbour's vouching for who stays at what address. Of course, "verification" through a human is necessary but it should not be any benchmark of authenticity, income tax or tax payment should also be factored in the "verification" and that is when much of the faked driving licences that many youth find it fashionable to obtain by paying bribes to touts can be fixed.

In summary, the income tax intimation document u/s143(c) that contains the residence address of the tax payer should be authentic if the government department like the passport office thinks so because it is inter-departmental. Armchair analysis that sounds logical is only unrealistic expectations like the many analysts in our country who may have never played cricket ever but comment on the game like they know everything 🤷🏻‍♂️
