  1. Facts

    In faceless assessment, a personal hearing by video conference can be requested, especially after a show cause notice proposing an addition. The request is made through e-Proceedings.

  2. Provisions and law

    • Sec 144B, Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 273, Income-tax Act 2025)Assessments are done in faceless mode through the National Faceless Assessment Centre.

  3. Analysis

    A video hearing helps where a point is easier to explain than to write, such as a complicated business flow. Prepare a short outline and keep documents ready to share. The hearing does not replace a written reply, so file written submissions too. Note the date, time and points discussed afterwards.

  4. Conclusion

    1. Ask for a video hearing in your reply with reasons.
    2. Prepare a short outline of points.
    3. Attend at the scheduled time with documents.
    4. File a written summary after the hearing.
