Case Laws / Head Notes / Paras

Amendment of assessment. Scope Section 177 of Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, does not in itself provide any power or absolute empowerment to modify assessment or re-determine the income of taxpayer. Key point to be kept in mind is that it is not a return of income which is being processed by the assessing officer; assessing officer deals with an ‘assessment order’ which by process of law has acquired a sanctity. Finalized assessment, therefore, cannot just be modified or disturbed in continuation of the proceedings of audit under S. 177 of Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
