Reopening based on mistaken facts was invalid

April 9, 2021 1065 Views 0 comment Print

Therefore, reasons are to be examined only on the basis of reasons as recorded. Here, in this case, I note that the A.O on mistaken facts resorted to reopening which is an admitted fact on a perusal of re-assessment order (supra). Therefore, the condition precedent for reopening the assessment u/s 147 of the Act is found to be absent and, therefore, the reopening itself is bad in law and therefore, the impugned notice u/s 148 of the Act is quashed and therefore, the consequent action of making addition of Rs.9,80,494/- is null in the eyes of law.

Section 143(2) Notice issue not mandatory for completing search assessment

April 9, 2021 8553 Views 0 comment Print

Section 153A only states that an assessment in terms thereof shall be completed in terms of the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 as if such return were a return required to be furnished under Section 139. It would thus suffice that in framing an assessment under Section 153A, due regard must be given to the principles of natural justice, which requirement will stand satisfied either by issuance of notice under Section 143(2) or a question-naire under Section 142(1). Therefore, a notice under Section 143(2) was not to be mandatorily issued prior to completion of an assessment in consequence of a notice under Section 153C.
