Bombay HC held that supplying of reasons for reopening assessment is a jurisdictional requirement and non-supplying of same when assessee specifically asked for same would made reassessment notice bad in law.
In Hitachi Home & Life Solutions (I) Ltd. vs. ACIT [ITA Nos. 3045/Ahd/2013 & 104/Ahd/2014, decided on 17.01.2017], briefly, the assessee being a company manufacturing/trading in air conditioners filed return of income on 20.12.2006 stating total income of Rs.15,62,01,340/-. It however returned nil income after adjusting carry forward losses.
Notice as prescribed U/s. 143(2) was not properly served on assessee, ITAT Kolkata, held, that assessment made U/s. 144 of the Act was not valid & it was quashed.
Mere increase in turnover, because of use of digital means of payment or otherwise , in a particular year cannot be a sole reason to believe that income has escaped assessment in earlier years.
Article Discusses Assessment under Section 143(1)-Scrutiny Assessment, Section 144- Best Judgement Assessment and Section 147- Income Escaping Assessment of Income Tax Act, 1961.
Bombay High Court held that Supply of Reasons Recorded for Making Reassessment is Necessary Otherwise the Income Escaping Assessment shall be Void. The Assessing Officer(AO) is bound to furnish reasons within a reasonable time. On receipt of reasons, the noticee is entitled to file objections to issuance of notice and the AO is bound to dispose of the same by passing a speaking order.
The Commissioner by an order dated 15.3.2000 allowed some of the grounds of appeal. Thus, the order of the Assessing Officer stood merged with the order of Commissioner (Appeals) and had no independent existence of its own and as such the assessment could not have been reopened in respect of the said items.
hen a claim was processed at length and after calling for detailed explanation from the assessee, the same was accepted, merely because a certain element or angle was not in the mind of the Assessing Officer while accepting such a claim, cannot be a ground for issuing notice for reassessment.
The case of assessee was reopened and the assessment under section 144 read with section 147 of the IT Act, 1961. While framing the assessment, the AO restricted the deduction claimed u/s 80P(2)(c)(i) of the Act and also confirmed the disallowance u/s 40(a)(ia) consequent to deposit
AO is bound to furnish the reasons recorded for initiation of proceedings under section 147 of the Act within a reasonable period of time so that the assessee could file its objections thereto and the AO was to dispose of the same by passing a speaking order thereon, which the AO has not done.
