What I understand from Interaction with the CPC, Bangalore officials (during a Seminar) is that the the Assessing Officer is only sharing his jurisdiction with them. Assessing Officer's jurisdiction is intact and not taken away, and he has every authority and power that he always had. I therefore, feel that he can very well entertain and pass an order u/s 154. No doubt, the online, process is smoother and faster but what if the process fails (this is because the whole process is automated and there is no human interaction) ? I have a series of cases, where CPC has passed 143(1) Intimations with out giving credit for the Self Assessment Tax paid (and oh yes, the credit appears very much in the Form 26AS) and have raised demands. Naturally, we filed an online Petition for rectification. But, ironically, the mistake is repeated in the 154 Order and credit for the Self Assessment Tax paid is not given and a demand is raised. NOW, CAN ANY ONE TELL ME WHAT IS THE ASSESSEE'S REMEDY FOR GETTING CREDIT FOR THE SELF ASSESSMENT TAX DULY PAID AND CREDITED ON THE NSDL SITE BUT NOT ALLOWED IN THE 143(1) AND 154 ORDERS?
