The Income Tax Department has started scrutinizing reassessment cases for AY 2018-19. This action follows the Union Budget 2024's announcement to reduce the reassessment period from 10 to 5 years. Effective September 1, past assessments for AY 2018-19 will be time-barred. Initial letters will be issued, with cases potentially reopened if identified as high-risk. The Central Board of Direct Taxes has directed officials to upload time-barred cases by August 2. The new rule aims to reduce litigation and streamline the tax process.
