Luxe Trading And Holding (India) Pvt. Ltd. Vs ITO (ITAT Delhi) From a perusal of the reasons, it is seen that the notice u/s. 148 of the Act has been issued mechanically without application of mind and the satisfaction by the Assessing Officer is only the borrowed satisfaction of the Investigation Wing. The Assessing Officer, […]
We are of the view that the AO has re-opened the assessment on mere change of opinion, because it is the assessing officer who took a different view at the time of reopening of assessment, i.e., he has entertained an opinion that the family members should have transferred the gold to the assessee firm and then the assessee firm should have held the gold on its own account.
Kasapu Ramesh Babu Vs ITO (ITAT Visakhapatnam) Assessing Officer has to act on the basis of “reasons to believe” and not on “reasons to suspect”. In the instant case, the initiation of proceedings u/s 147 of the Act are based upon no evidence and/or un-corroborative material. The Assessing Officer further failed to establish the nexus […]
Harmeet Singh Vs ITO (ITAT Delhi) At the time of hearing, Ld. Counsel of the assessee has only argued the legal ground and stated that the reopening action of the AO and confirmation thereof by the Ld. CIT(A) is in violation of mandatory jurisdictional conditions stipulated under the Act. It was further stated that the […]
Reassessment by AO was justified as it could not be said that there was no material before AO to reopen the assessment and he proceeded mechanically based on the sole information received from the Investigation Wing and the impugned notice was without jurisdiction and contrary to Section 147.
Budget 2021- Section 153 of the Act contains provisions in respect of time-limit for completion of assessment, reassessment and re-computation under the Act. The sub-section (1) of the said section provides that the time-limit for passing an assessment order under section 143 or 144 of the Act shall be 21 months from the end of […]
Vikas Chowdhary Vs ITO (ITAT Delhi) It is well settled law that validity of the reassessment proceedings is to be determined on the basis of the reasons recorded for reopening of the assessment. The reasons are reproduced above. The AO as per NMS information which was pushed into the ITD system came to know that […]
Since there was no allegation by AO on failure on the part of assessee to disclose fully and truly all material facts necessary for assessment, therefore, reopening of assessment was not based on sound footing and hence the impugned assessment order framed u/s.143(3) r.w.s. 147 was illegal and liable to be quashed.
Mehrunnisa Mohamed Fazal Maniar Vs ITO (Gujrat High Court) The case on hand is not a case where the Income Tax Officer seeks to draw any fresh inference which could have been raised at the time of the original assessment on the basis of the materials placed before him by the assessee relating to the […]
