Reopening under section 147 by the AO on the same set of facts, without there being any additional information, can only be considered as change of opinion

November 1, 2009 637 Views 0 comment Print

Accordingly we do not find any mistake in assessee’s working of the block of assets which is according to the provisions of section 43(6)(c). The A.O.’s action in denying the inclusion of asset within the block is on the condition that the asset was not put to use.
