Facts Summary

The case involves J.B. Petit High School for Girls, which was selected for limited scrutiny by the Assessing Officer for the Assessment Year 2022-23 under Section 143(3) read with Section 144B of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The school claimed to have accumulated Rs. 3 Crores for building renovation and reconstruction, out of which Rs. 1,98,15,080 was utilized, and the remaining Rs. 1,01,84,920 was declared as deemed income. The Principal Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemptions) found the assessment order erroneous and prejudicial to the revenue’s interest, setting it aside for de novo assessment. The school appealed this decision, claiming that all relevant documents and details were provided during the assessment and that the order was unsustainable.
