Brahm Datt Vs ACIT (Delhi High Court) CONCLUSION – Re-assessment not tenable in law in as much as the same is barred by limitation. Any subsequent amendment in the re-assessment provisions, if not specifically mentioned, are presumed to be prospective and hence not applicable in the present case. FACTS – Petitioner, a senior citizen, was […]
Reassessment order passed by AO without issuing notice under section 143(2) was invalid as it is mandatory obligation of AO to serve notice by assigning reasons therein with regard to his belief of escaped tax liability before making reassessment of any escaped income.
Order of reassessment passed without disposing off the objection raised by assessee was invalid as assessee was entitled to raise objection against the reason given in reassessment notice and AO was under mandate to dispose of the same by a speaking order before proceeding to reassess the assessee’s income.
Harjeet Singh Vs ITO (ITAT Delhi) It can be seen that the Assessing Officer has proceeded on wrong assumption fact. The amount of Rs. 10 lacs is not supported by any cheque number whereas the allegation is that the assessee has received accommodation entry from Sh. Gupta through cheque. In my considered opinion the basis […]
M/s Balaji Health Care Pvt. Ltd. Vs ITO (ITAT Jaipur) Conclusion: Reopening of assessment by AO on basis of report of Investigation Wing that assessee was beneficiary of accommodation entries in the form of share capital/premium/loan during the financial year was not justified as AO had not carried out any further examination and analysis in […]
Hetal Brijesh Ukani Vs ACIT (Gujarat High Court) The notice under section 148 of the Act, which is a jurisdictional notice, has been issued to a dead person. Upon receipt of such notice, the legal representative has raised an objection to the validity of such notice and has not complied with the same. The legal […]
Charan Singh Vs ITO (ITAT Jaipur) (i) Under Section 148 of the Act, the issue of notice to the Assessee and service of such notice upon the Assessee are jurisdictional requirements that must be mandatorily complied with. They are not mere procedural requirements. (ii) For the AO to exercise jurisdiction to reopen an assessment, notice […]
Shri Niranjan Dass Vs ITO (ITAT Delhi) All facts when considered with reasons recorded for reopening of the assessment would lead to only one conclusion that the reasons recorded for reopening the assessment are devoid of any application of mind. In our considered opinion, such reopening cannot be upheld. We, accordingly, quash the notice u/s […]
Where AO had failed to issue notice under section 143(2) before completion of assessment, addition made under section 68 during reassessment proceedings was deleted because issuance of notice under section 143(2) is a mandatory obligation on the part of AO.
Since neither from reasons nor from any other material on record, it could be gathered that there was any failure on the part of the assessee to disclose truly and fully all-material facts, reopening of assessee’s assessment on ground that she had not disclosed capital gain in her return of income filed, could not be held justified.
