The Bombay High Court has rejected a petition filed by Maharashtra Cabinet Minister Chhagan Bhujbal challenging a show cause notice issued by the Income Tax department.
Bhujbal’s petition challenged a notice issued to him by the Assessing Officer on March 31, 2019 issued under Section 148 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (the Act). The notice stated that there were “reasons to believe that income chargeable to tax for the A.Y. 2012-13 assessment year) has escaped assessment within the meaning of Section 147 of the Act.”
