Section 157A of Income Tax Act "Faceless rectification, amendments and issuance of notice or intimation"
157A. (1) The Central Government may make a scheme, by
notification in the Official Gazette, for the purposes of
rectification of any mistake apparent from record under
section 154 or other amendments under section 155 or issue
of notice of demand under section 156, or intimation of loss
under section 157, so as to impart greater efficiency,
transparency and accountability by-
(a) eliminating the interface between the income-tax
authority and the assessee or any other person to the extent
technologically feasible;
(b) optimising utilisation of the resources through
economies of scale and functional specialisation;
(c) introducing a team-based rectification of mistakes,
amendment of orders, issuance of notice of demand or
intimation of loss, with dynamic jurisdiction.
(2) The Central Government may, for the purpose of giving
effect to the scheme made under sub-section (1), by
notification in the Official Gazette, direct that any of the
provisions of this Act shall not apply or shall apply with
such exceptions, modifications and adaptations as may be
specified in the notification:
Provided that no direction shall be issued after the 31st
day of March, 2022.
(3) Every notification issued under sub-section (1) and
sub-section (2) shall, as soon as may be after the
notification is issued, be laid before each House of
Parliament.]
