There has been prevailing in the Income-Tax Department a very erroneous impression that under the provisions of the amended section 147 of the Income-Tax Act, 1961 (the Act), with effect from 1st April, 1989, the Assessing Officer (AO) has got unbridled powers to assess or reassess income which has escaped assessment. This is so, particularly, in respect of cases where no assessment has been made under section 143(3) of the Act
One of the key sources of dispute is the existing arrangement for follow up on audit objections by Internal Audit Party and the Revenue Audit Party. In terms of the existing arrangement, the Assessing Officer is required to take corrective steps following audit objections. The corrective measures take the form of rectification or reassessment (by reopening the case under section 147 or revision by the Principal Commissioner or Commissioner under section 263).

This was a case where the original assessment was completed under Section 143 (3). In other words there was a complete scrutiny of the accounts and all the affidavits of the donors furnished by the Assessee pursuant to the questionnaires issued to him by the AO. In the absence of any adverse
Krypton Industries Ltd. V/s. DCIT (ITAT Kolkata)- Whether the action of AO for framing the assessment under section 147 is within his jurisdiction though the time for scrutiny assessment under section 143(3) has not lapsed.
