Vs ITO (ITAT Delhi) A perusal of the reasons for reopening of the case for the impugned assessment year, copy of which is placed at paper book page No. 20-21 shows that the reopening was made on the basis of the report of the investigation wing and there is no independent […]
The issue under consideration is whether the notice issued under section 147 for re-opening of assessment is justified in law?

Eminent Computers Pvt. Ltd. Vs ITO (ITAT Delhi) The issue under consideration is whether the re-opening of assessment u/s 147 merely relying upon investigation report is justified in law? ITAT states that the return of income filed by the assessee has also been analyzed with reference to the information received from the Investigation Wing and […]
M/s Aash Trading Company Pvt. Ltd. Vs ITO (ITAT Delhi) We find that AO in the reasons recorded has mentioned that Rs. 75 lacs on account of accommodation entry has been escaped, however, he had issued noticed u/s. 148 of the Act to the assesee.

Hitesh Ashok Vaswani Vs DCIT (ITAT Ahmedabad) In the present case the search information received from the investigation wing was used to form the reason to believe by the AO but without applying the mind.

In view of the Proviso to s. 147, merely having a reason to believe that income had escaped assessment is not sufficient to reopen assessments but it must be specifically alleged by the AO in the recorded reasons that the escapement was on account of the failure of the assessee to make a full and true disclosure of material facts. In the absence of such allegation, the reopening is without jurisdiction;
Assessing Officer has taken into consideration the facts and estimated the profit taking into deposits in the bank accounts. Thereafter, there were no new facts before the Assessing Officer which could justify the reopening. On these facts, it was nothing more than change of mind by the Assessing Officer, and a reopening of assessment on the basis of change of opinion, in view of Hon’ble Supreme Court’s judgment in Kelvinator’s case (supra), is not permissible in law.
Reopening of assessment under section 147 was not justified when there was no evidence to show that there was escapement of income due to failure on the part of assessee to disclose fully and truly all material facts necessary for assessment.
CIT Vs Sterling Tree Magnum India Ltd. (Madras High Court) Learned Tribunal has categorically held that there was no failure on the part of the assessee, but disclosed the relevant facts and therefore, merely on the basis of the audit objection or change of opinion and re-assessment under Sections 147 & 148 of the Income […]
