Validity of notice U/s 148 – Court have to refer to reasons recorded by AO

September 28, 2014 3009 Views 0 comment Print

Tribunal was justified in assessing the correctness of the notice for reopening the assessment under Section 148 on the basis of the reasons which were disclosed by the Assessing Officer.
