Daee Coop T&C Society Vs ACIT (ITAT Chennai) There is no dispute with regard to the fact that the assessee is a credit co-operative society registered under the TamilNadu Cooperative Societies Act, 1983. It is also not in dispute that the assessee is engaged in the business of providing credit facilities to its members. The […]
The issue under consideration is whether the re-opening of assessment is valid even if there is no addition on subject-matter being basis for issuing notice under section 148, rather AO made addition on other counts?
In view of the Proviso to s. 147, merely having a reason to believe that income had escaped assessment is not sufficient to reopen assessments but it must be specifically alleged by the AO in the recorded reasons that the escapement was on account of the failure of the assessee to make a full and true disclosure of material facts. In the absence of such allegation, the reopening is without jurisdiction;
Assessing Officer has taken into consideration the facts and estimated the profit taking into deposits in the bank accounts. Thereafter, there were no new facts before the Assessing Officer which could justify the reopening. On these facts, it was nothing more than change of mind by the Assessing Officer, and a reopening of assessment on the basis of change of opinion, in view of Hon’ble Supreme Court’s judgment in Kelvinator’s case (supra), is not permissible in law.
Reopening of assessment under section 147 was not justified when there was no evidence to show that there was escapement of income due to failure on the part of assessee to disclose fully and truly all material facts necessary for assessment.
Validity of Reassessment when Pursuant to survey under section 133A, it was found that deduction under section 80-IA was not available to assessee

Since there was no material to infer that client code modification had been done by assessee with malafide purpose of shifting of the profit or evasion of the tax hence, assessment could not be reopened under section 147 in absence of any tangible material to infer that income escaped in the case of assessee.
