Jharkhand HC Sets Aside Petition Due to Legal Errors in Self-Assessment

Jharkhand HC'S Order for Jay Prakash Singhania

The self-assessment presented was illegal, according to the Jharkhand High Court, which dismissed the writ suit. Jay Prakash Singhania, the writ petitioner, is an income tax department regular taxpayer.

In order to declare unreported income in accordance with the mode and manner specified under Section 183 of the Income Tax Act, the Government of India framed a regulation known as the Income Declaration Scheme, 2016, using the authority granted by Section 199 of the Finance Act, 2016. This regulation is now in effect.

The writ petitioner has made such a submission on the basis that the declaration provided by the writ petitioner will be deemed to be non-est in the eyes of the law due to deeming provision as under SubSection 3 of Section 187 of the Finance Act, 2016 once the declaration so furnished by the writ petitioner due to non-deposit of the amount in its entirety as needed under the income tax Act.

According to Kumar Vaibhav, the attorney representing the Revenue, the writ petition lacks merit because the petitioner was required to deposit the entire amount in three instalments by the due date once he made a declaration regarding his escape income by using the provisions of Section 183 of the Finance Act, 2016.

The applicant’s case is that he has filed the tax on the self-assessment that is under section 183 as observed by the court of Justices Sujit Narayan Prasad and Subhash Chand, however his code of making a declaration directed that the self-assessment provided via the applicant does not reveal to be as per the law and is the cause that the declaration to that effect would have been furnished and lastly renders to assessing the taxpayer through choosing the utilization of Section 153A of the Act of 1961’s provision.
