E-Funds IT Solution Inc., Civil Appeal NO.6082 of 2015 and connected matters, it has been held that once arm’s length principle has been satisfied, there can […]
No notice was served to the petitioner under Section 148(1) of the IT Act and service of notice to the Chartered Accountant of the petitioner Company is not service at all and participation of the petitioner Company by filing return and filing objection to the notice to the reasons to believe cannot be held to be a valid service of notice
To sum up, even under the amended law, in all cases, there must exist reason to believe that income has escaped assessment and a mere change of opinion on the same facts and law does not justify a reassessment. For a reassessment proceeding initiated after four years, it must further be established that the escapement was by reason of failure of the assessee to disclose fully and truly all material facts.
ITO Vs. Sh. Neeraj Goel (ITAT Delhi) IT(A) has rightly held that the assumption of jurisdiction to frame an assessment or non assumption of jurisdiction to frame an assessment goes to the root of the judicial act of framing an assessment order and in the event of non assumption of jurisdiction u/s. 143(2) of the […]
A.M. Muthiah & Anr. Vs DCIT (ITAT Mumbai) Issuance of notice under section 143(2) is mandatory, and absence thereof invalidates even a reassessment made in pursuance to section 148 and reliance placed by AO on section 292BB was misplaced.
This appeal is filed by the assessee against the order of the Learned Commissioner (Appeals)–21, Mumbai dated 28-3-2016 for the assessment year 2011-12. The assessee in its appeal raised several grounds of appeal both on validity of issue of service of notice under section 143(2)/148 of the Act as well on merits of the disallowances.
This petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is directed against the notice dated 31-3-2017 issued by the respondent-Income Tax Officer under section 148 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (hereinafter referred to as the Act), seeking to reopen the assessment of the petitioner for assessment year 2010-11.
Reopening of assessment of A.Y. 2005-06 after expiry of four years without obtaining approval of an officer of the rank of Joint Commissioner was bad in law and even if such approval had been granted, by the officer superior i.e., the DIT, it would not cure the defect.
Reasons recorded by AO to reopen assessment merely on basis of information from DIT(Inv.) without independently applying his own mind could not be said to be reason to believe that income had escaped assessment hence, reopening was bad in law.
Prabhjit Singh Sidhu Vs. Asst. DIT (International Taxation) (ITAT Chandigarh) The facts before us also demonstrate that the disclosure in the return of income filed under section 148 of the Act was voluntary and before detection of the same by the Revenue. The payment of taxes on the said income two months prior to issue […]
