Dear all, My client failed to submit IT return within due date allowed in the notice u/s 142(1)but filed before the completion of Assessment. The return was considered as non est and assessment completed without allowing any deductions claimed in the return. Is there any decision/judgment to consider these type of 'returns' as valid.

yes. return should have been filed before 31.12.2012.i.e. before time mentioned in notice. 142(1) is 1st step of assessment. when notice is issued return needs to be filed within date mentioned in notice.
