The Delhi High Court has sought a response on a petition filed by Newslaundry against the reassessment notices issued to it under the Income Tax Act for 2017-2018 and 2019-2020. The reassessment notice was issued on grounds that the assessment of income for these years was not done.
The Income Tax department had conducted a “survey” on Newslaundry in September 2021. During the “survey”, the personal phone and laptop of Newslaundry co-founder Abhinandan Sekhri was taken away.
