24. Thus, there is no cavil of doubt that Section 144B of the Act and order
of CBDT dated 06.09.2021 give exemption from following the mandatory
faceless procedure only in relation to passing of assessment orders in
cases of central charges and international tax charges. Any other
interpretation would amount to doing violence with the language
employed in the scheme/notification dated 29.03.2022, Section 144B(2) of
the Act and order dated 06.09.2021. Since in our view, the plain and
unambiguous language used in the scheme and order dated 06.09.2021
shows that the notice under Section 148 does not fall within the
'exception', the judgments cited by the learned Senior Standing Counsel
for Income Tax Department are of no assistance. The Taxpayer is nowhere
distinguished between NRIs and Indian Citizens. The notice issued under
Section 148 must comply with the requirement of the Scheme whether or
not the Taxpayer is NRI/Indian Citizen. Thus, the second limb of
7 ITA No. 3322, 3323, 3446 & 3467/Del/2025
Tayal sons Pvt. Ltd. Vs. DCIT
argument of the learned Senior Standing Counsel for Income Tax
Department deserves to be rejected.
