Shri Rakesh Aggarwal, Jalandhar vs Income Tax Officer Ward-Iii(3), ... on 13 February, 2019

15-02-2010. Thereafter, on receipt of information the AO reopened the assessment by issuing notice u/s. 148 of the Act on 12-06-2012. The 5 ITA Nos. 1713/PUN/2015 & 72/PUN/2016, A.Y. 2008-09 contention of ld. DR is that the assessee required to file return of income or a letter requesting the AO to treat original return as return of income in response to notice u/s. 148 of the Act, as the case may be, within 30 days from the date of receipt of said notice. Admittedly, there is no dispute with ld. AR that the assessee filed letter dated 18-01-2014 which is beyond 30 days from the receipt of service of notice u/s. 148 of the Act, therefore, according to Ld. DR, no notice u/s. 143(2) is required to be issued in response to such letter, the AO treating the original return as on record, rightly issued notice u/s. 143(2) and 142(1) both dated 07-08-2012. We find, as relied by the Sri.S.S.Meena, Ld.DR, the Delhi Tribunal in the case of Rakesh Aggarwal (supra) vide Para No. 8 held the onus of filing of ROI on the assessee is a responsibility which is cast upon him to be fulfilled by him, if he fails to take benefit of any of the provisions of law, the assessee cannot plea that the notice u/s. 143(2) should have been issued. In the present case, the assessee filed a letter dated 18-01-2014 requesting to treat the original return of income as in response to notice u/s. 148 of the Act. Since, the same is beyond specified time the AO cannot take cognizance of the same and proceeded with the assessment considering the notices issued u/sec 143(2)& 142(1) of the Act on 07-08-2012. Therefore, the contention of ld. AR that no notice u/s. 143(2) issued subsequent to the letter dated 18-01-2014 is not acceptable and rejected. Thus, the additional ground No. 1 raised by the assessee is dismissed.
