29 February 2020 An assessee had received notice for scrutiny u/s 143(3) of IT Act for AY 2017-18. However, as the Principal Officer was not in town, the assessee inadvertently did not appear before the Assessing Officer and as a result Best Judgement assessment was made and Order was passed u/s 144 of IT Act. Can application for revision of Order be made before the Chief Commission u/s 264 of IT Act or any other section. What is the recourse available to the assessee now to get the case reopened ?
