Rajender Kumar Sehgal Vs ITO (Delhi High Court) When the notice was issued, the assessee was already dead. If the Department intended to proceed under Section 147 of the Act, it could have done so prior to 31st March 2017 by issuing a notice to the LRs of the deceased. Beyond that date it could […]
PCIT Vs M/s. Shodiman Investments Pvt. Ltd. (Bombay High Court) In this case Assessing Officer has not applied his mind to the information received by him from the DDIT (Inv.). The Assessing Officer has merely issued a reopening notice on the basis of intimation regarding reopening notice from the DDIT (Inv.) This is clearly in […]
A. Sridevi Vs ITO (Madras High Court) Admittedly, the original return filed by the assessee did not reflect the subject matter income, namely, the advance made by the assessee to the said Nagarajan of a sum of Rs.2.75 crores. When the earlier reopening proceedings was initiated with issuance of notice under section 148, the assessee […]
ITO Vs Aggregate Finance & Investment P. Ltd (ITAT Delhi) Be that as it may, as adverted to supra, the case of the Ld. AO while recording the reasons was that the assessee derived the income as a provider of bogus accommodation entries. However, the addition was made on account of receipt of share application […]
Reopening of assessment beyond four years merely on the basis of information received, however, without pointing out failure of assessee to furnish truly and fully all material facts was not valid.
Validity of Reassessment Notice under section 148-Where approval of Addl. CIT was not obtained to reopen the assessment, rather it was obtained from CIT, the same was in breach of section 151.
Shanta Kapoor Vs ACIT (ITAT Agra) If AO omits to issue notice under section 148 of Income Tax Act, 1961 to all legal representative (LRs) of deceased assessee, the reassessment would be null and void. Assessee ‘deceased’ had 3 legal heirs, two being sons and one daughter. The AO had not issued notices to all the […]

Ajay Narayan Bhoir Vs ACIT (ITAT Mumbai) In case of return of income processed under section 143(1), the only condition to be satisfied for reopening is that taxable income has escaped assessment and the assessee’s plea that no fresh material was there before the AO warranting re-opening, was not relevant. FULL TEXT OF THE ITAT […]
In the present cases on hand, the request made by the writ petitioner had been complied with and the reasons for reopening of the escaped assessment had been communicated to the writ petitioner. The said propositions are very well recognised by the Supreme Court of India in the case of GKN Driveshafts (India) Ltd. Thus the very provision stating that the Assessing Officer should record the reasons does not mean that the same should be communicated along with the notice itself.
