Case Summary: PRINCIPAL COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX v. PRAVEEN SAWHNEY SLP(C) No. 14609/2026 | Heard: 25-03-2026 The Principal Commissioner of Income Tax challenged the High Court's rejection of an assessment order dated 04.03.2015 under Section 153B of the Income Tax Act. The core issue concerns whether the Department's one-year extension period for assessment—triggered by a DTAA information request to Swiss authorities dated 11.06.2013—validly covered the assessment period. The High Court held the extension inapplicable because the relevant period predated 01.04.2011 (when the 2011 DTAA came into force). The Department argues either the 1995 DTAA covers the period or the 2011 DTAA applies to the 01.04.2011-31.03.2012 portion. The Supreme Court issued notice on the interim relief prayer, condonation of delay application, and the SLP, with the matter returnable on 18.05.2026.
