Samet Estates Pvt. Ltd. Vs CIT (Bombay High Court) It is Petitioner’s case that the same issue which is mentioned in the reasons for reopening was a subject matter of consideration during the assessment proceedings and the assessment order dated 20th December, 2010 in fact even discussed this item.

Smt. Nalini Anilbhai Amin Vs DCIT (ITAT Ahmedabad) The proceedings, in the instant case, under section 147 of the Act were initiated by the AO on account of escapement of income of the capital gain generated on the sale of the property. This fact can be verified from the reasons recorded by the AO for […]
In reassessment it is only required to see whether there is prima facie material before the Assessing Officer to initiate proceedings and other requirements under the law, precondition i.e. of taking approval/sanction under Section 151, before issuance of notice under Section 148 is followed or not. Whether there is prima facie material available on the basis of which department can reopen case and not sufficiency or correctness of material to be considered.
We have no hesitation in holding that Ld. AO was not within his jurisdiction to frame the reassessment in the name of non-existing entity and such reassessment order dated 10.03.2014 is nullity and not sustainable in the eye of law

It is well established that the reasons recorded by the AO cannot be further be substituted or added or deleted. We are of the view that the reference to market value of the flat as determined by stamp duty valuation authority also cannot justify initiation of reassessment proceedings under section 147 of the Act, as the validity of reassessment has to be tested only on the basis of reasons recorded by the Assessing Officer before issuing notice under section 148 of the Act and those reasons cannot be further improved.
