Q. Incorrect Notice of Demand

Question

Our client case was selected for assessment u/s 143 for A.Y.2022-23, After our submission, assessing officer passed order and no addition or variation was made in the assessment order and returned income was consider as assessed income.

However while computing income assessing officer calculated income as per old regime and we had filed our return as per new regime and form 10IE was also filed before filing return within due date.

As a result of calculation of tax under old regime instead of new regime, tax is showing as payable. Now what is the remedy available.

I have already file offline rectification but officer said he can't do anything as it is faceless assessment.

Should I file appeal ? If yes then appeal needs to be filed against order u/s 143(3) or against notice of demand 156.

Is there any other option.

Answer 1

The bill should be filed against the computation for the order passed under section 143 (3). The appeal would be against the order only.
