DRP should have held off on Final Assessment Order until Rectification Application was Resolved: Karnataka HC [Read Order]

The Karnataka High Court ruled that the Dispute Resolution Panel (DRP) should have delayed issuing its final assessment order until the rectification application filed by the taxpayer was resolved. The case involved the premature issuance of an order, which the court found to be procedurally unfair. This ruling emphasizes the importance of procedural fairness in tax assessments and gives hope to taxpayers who are awaiting rectification before final orders are issued.
