Reassessment Notice U/s. 148 issued for mere non submission of Computation of income with form 56F is invalid

May 28, 2018 1497 Views 0 comment Print

The AO’s reason for re-opening is that along with the certificate in Form 56F, which was the certificate of the CA, the working sheet of deduction was not enclosed. That was not a requirement of law.

The mere fact that the working sheet may not have been enclosed does not amount to a failure by the Assessee to make a full and true disclosure of all material facts. Consequently, the Court is satisfied that the second reason for re-opening is also unsustainable in law.
