Quick Summary

The Supreme Court has ruled that reassessment notices issued under the unamended Section 148 of the Income Tax Act, even after April 1, 2021, will not be considered invalid. This decision means taxpayers cannot use the change in law as an excuse to avoid proceedings initiated by these notices. The ruling aims to resolve a significant backlog of over 9,000 appeals and balances the rights of both the revenue and taxpayers.
