ITAT Delhi held that reassessment proceedings initiated u/s 147 of the Income Tax Act unsustainable as sufficient enquiry was made by AO on the impugned transaction and hence it tantamount to change of opinion on part of AO.
In the case being analyzed, the Delhi High Court referred to Explanation (i) to Clause (b) of Section 245A to determine whether the proceedings for assessment or reassessment had commenced for the assessment years 2012-13, 2013-14, and 2014-15. The court concluded that based on a plain reading of the explanation, no such proceedings had commenced during those years. As a result, the court upheld the decision of the Income Tax Settlement Commission to deem the petitioner’s application under Section 245C(1) invalid for those assessment years.
