Under the Income Tax law assessment proceeding for each assessment year is a separate proceeding, clarifies Bombay HC


Quick Summary
The Bombay High Court has clarified that under the Income Tax Act, assessment proceedings for each individual assessment year are treated as separate and distinct legal proceedings. This ruling stems from a case where an ITAT order transferred appeals concerning multiple assessment years from one bench to another. The court's decision reinforces the principle that each tax year's assessment is an independent process.
