Time Barring Date for reopened cases, ITGOA WB seeks clarity and instruction
Confusion prevails among AOs regarding exact TB date for reopened cases. Different interpretation of Act is possible in these cases. The TB date may be considered as 31/03/2023, 31/05,2023 and even 31/03/2024. In ITBA, the date indicates 31/03/2024.
In video conference dated 24/01/2023 Chairman CBDT opines as under :
"..... in respect of the reassessment proceedings initiated in pursuant to directions of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the matter of Shri Ashish Agarwal, several representations were received asking for time-baring date of such cases, in the light of communication sent by 1TBA. The Board is of the view that such cases have to be completed by 31.05.2023. He directed all the Pr CCsIT to communicate the decision of the Board to all concerned."
In a letter to Pr CCIT WB & Sikkim, ITGOA desired as under :
"An official communication has already been issued on behalf of the Pr. CCIT, UP (West) & Uttarakhand on 27.01.2023 in this line (copy enclosed). But we strongly believe that such an instruction should be issued centrally by the Board specifying the limitation date and also explaining the reasons thereof (as done in the case of Instruction no. 01 of 2022) considering the nature and extent of the judicial scrutiny being faced by the Department in the recent past and a request that was earlier made by our Central Leadership in this regard to CBDT vide a letter dated 23.12.2022. But no such instruction has so far been issued by the Board."
