Vide Finance Act, 2012, section 143(1D) was introduced in income tax act which prohibited processing of income tax returns in case notice u/s 143(2) has been issued (i.e. scrutiny cases).
Ambiguity arose as to whether the said sub-section applies to those cases as well wherein refunds have been applied in the returns, however the same has been issued notice for scrutiny assessment.
Now, vide instruction no. 01/2015, it has been clarified by CBDT that the returns involving refunds, also fall under the purview of the said sub-section,
Hence, processing of returns for refunds can’t be undertaken wherein the said case has been selected for scrutiny.
