Since there is no mention of the approval sought from the CIT on the reasons, as recorded by the AO to initiate reassessment proceedings, the entire initiation has been vitiated and become bad in law.
The assessee is a FUND and a resident of Denmark. Along with its return of income, in India, the assessee had submitted ‘Tax Residency Certificate’ issued by the Danish Authorities in order to claim the benefit of Article 14 of India-Denmark DTAA.
In the present case also, there exist no grounds for re opening the assessment after the expiry of 4 years from the relevant assessment year. The notice under section 148 of the said Act is based on re-appreciation of the same material on record.
It is a settled position in law that for reassessment proceedings beyond the period of four years from the end of the relevant assessment year, it is an essential condition that the income chargeable to tax which has allegedly escaped assessment must be occasioned
First of all, we have to examine the documents produced by the assessee during the course of original assessment framed u/s. 147 read with section 143(3) of the Act vide order dated 20.11.2009. We find from the assessment order that the assessee produced complete details of purchases i.e. purchase statement.
condition precedent for proceeding under section 147/148 of the Act was that the Assessing Officer should have reason to believe that income had escaped assessment. The Hon’ble jurisdictional High Court further held, The notice under section 147/148 issued to the petitioner was not vitiated merely for the reason that notice under section 143(2) had not been issued to it.
In this case Joint Commissioner had acted mechanically in order to discharge his statutory obligation properly in the matter of recording sanction as he merely wrote on the format Yes, I am satisfied which indicated as if he was to sign only on the dotted line, whereas satisfaction has to be with objectivity on objective material. Thus, reopening of assessment was invalid.
The Assessing Officer has though power to re–assess but no power to review and if the concept of change of opinion is removed, then in the garb of the re–assessment, review of earlier orders would take place.
Sub-section (1) of Section 151 provides inter alia that where an assessment has been made under section 143(3), a notice under section 148 cannot be issued by an Assessing Officer, who is below the rank of Assistant Commissioner or Deputy Commissioner unless the Joint Commissioner
Reassessment proceedings are bad in law in as much as the AO sought to reopen the assessment beyond a period of four years and not followed the procedures laid down in section 151(2) of the Act for issuing notice under section 148 of the Act.
