NOTICE U/S 148
Dear Members,
Namaskar.
Please help me to solve the case.
Assessement completed by the ITO, demanded tax of Rs. 4 Lacs. Assessee paid 200000/- out of the demanded amount and filed appeal. The appeal is pending before the Asst. Commissioner. In the meantime Govt. Announced VIVAD SE VISHWAS SCHEME. As it is the fit case for opting for VSV Scheme the assessee opted for VSV and wanted to pay the balance 2 Lacs. The last date of payment under VSV Scheme is extended upto 30.04.2021.
The Incumbent AO issued notice u/s 148 (Income Escaping Assessment ) for the same AY (Which appeal is Pending and VSV Scheme OPTED).
My query is whether the AO is justified to issue notice u/s 148 ? Shall I advice the assessee to pay to under VSV or file return of income against the notice ?
Please help.
Thanks in Advance .
