The judgment reiterates that reassessment cannot be initiated merely because the AO takes a different view later. Jurisdictional limits under tax law were strictly enforced.
The SC confirmed that reassessment beyond four years is invalid where full material facts were disclosed during scrutiny. A mere change of opinion cannot justify reopening.
The court held that reopening after four years based on a different view of the same expenditure amounts to a change of opinion. Absence of failure to disclose material facts made the reassessment invalid.
The ruling reiterates that reassessment after four years requires a clear failure by the assessee to disclose material facts. Absence of such failure rendered the notice unsustainable.
The court held that reopening beyond four years is invalid when the recorded reasons do not allege failure to disclose material facts. Full disclosure by the assessee barred reassessment.
The ruling confirms that reassessment based on investigation inputs cannot proceed without independent application of mind by the Assessing Officer. Prior scrutiny of share capital defeated the reopening.
The Tribunal held that profit estimation cannot rest on conjectures or lump-sum allegations. In absence of identified bogus purchases or factual basis, the entire addition was deleted.
Delhi ITAT held that a purchase-return mismatch does not constitute misreporting under section 270A(9). Immunity under section 270AA was granted, quashing the ₹10.69 lakh penalty.
The Tribunal ruled that penalty under Section 271A cannot be levied merely because books were rejected and income was estimated. Since audited books were available, there was no failure to maintain accounts.
The Tribunal ruled that interest cannot be claimed under Section 36(1)(iii) when business use of the property is not proved, reinforcing the “put to use” requirement.
