The issue under consideration is whether the re-opening of assessement u/s 147 is justified in law?
Every taxpayer has to furnish the details of his income to the Income-tax Department. These details are to be furnished by filing up his return of income. Once the return of income is filed up by the taxpayer, the next step is the processing of the return of income by the Income Tax Department. The […]

The Gujarat High Court set aside Reassessment Notice issued to the amalgamated company which ceased to exist after approval of the composite scheme of arrangement.
The question that arises for consideration is where there is no new material brought on record by the Assessing subsequent to completion of original proceedings u/s 143(3) and where the matter was duly examined during the original assessment proceedings, whether the Assessing officer can still acquire jurisdiction by exercising powers u/s 147 of the Act.
Shri Parmod Kumar Sahai Vs ITO (ITAT Delhi) No reopening permissible on basis of invalid enquiry made under section 133 without approval of competent authority when no proceedings were pending We have perused second paragraph of the assessment order which refers to the inquiry made by the Assessing Officer before issue of notice u/s 148 […]
Re-assessment even if in case where return was not scrutinized before the income chargeable to tax had escaped before acceptance originally could not be made unless AO has reason to believe that the income chargeable to tax had escaped, therefore, for mere verification or for fishing inquiry, reopening of assessment was not permissible.
In the present case the approving authority has given approval to the reopening of assessment in a mechanical manner without due application of mind by only mentioning in Column No. 12 ‘YES’, in the Reasons for Initiating Proceedings u/s. 147 and For obtaining the Approval of the Addl. Commissioner of Income Tax. On this count the reassessment is not sustainable in the eyes of law and needs to be quashed.
Court held that where the Act provides for sanction by the Joint Commissioner of Income Tax in terms of section 151, then the sanction by the Commissioner of Income Tax would not meet the requirement of the Act and the reopening notice will be without jurisdiction.
