27 April 2019 We have filed belated return for AY 2012-13 in 2014. In 2019, our case is opened under section 148 with reason that no return is filed but we have duly filed income tax return manually, and we have shown it to AO. Now reason to open our case is wrong absolutely,
1. Now should we proceed in scrutiny assessment by compliance or there is no need to pursue as the reasons are wrong?
2. What is our remedy for us?

30 April 2019 First of all file reply to the reasons supplied and protest reopening the case. Then wait for AO reply disposing off your objections to the reasons supplied. thereafter you can either proceed with assessment proceedings under protest or you may file appeal against wrong reopening of section 148.
