In our view this is not a fair or proper procedure. If not in the first notice, at least at the time of furnishing the reasons the assessee should have been informed that the revenue relied upon the second proviso. The assessee must be put to notice of all the provisions on which the revenue relies upon.
Chordia Buildcon Pvt. Ltd. Vs DCIT (ITAT Jaipur) The issue under consideration is whether the action taken by the AO u/s 147 r.w.s 148 is justified in law? The case of assessee was originally selected for scrutiny and a detailed questionnarie was issued alongwith notice u/s 142(1). The AO asked specific queries with regard to […]
Principles of law governing re-assessment under Income Tax Law (Section 147 and 148) (i) The Court should be guided by the reasons recorded for the reassessment and not by the reasons or explanation given by the Assessing Officer at a later stage in respect of the notice of reassessment. To put it in other words, […]
Since assessee had no intention to make a full and true disclosure of its income as it would not have filed a revised return of income showing higher income before issuance of the notice 143(2)/142(1) by AO, therefore, AO rightly held that assessee had deliberately and consciously failed to furnish full and true particulars of income and attempted to conceal income and levy of penalty under section 271(1)(c) was confirmed.
The issue under consideration is whether the re-opening of assessment u/s 147 by AO is justified in law? The reopening of the assessment by the AO is without application of mind and simply going by the information received as per AIR Data. Hence the reopening of the assessment is quashed being invalid.
CIT (A) upheld the reopening of the assessment by recording the reasons on incorrect facts. Hence in the facts and circumstances of the case, we find that the reopening of the assessment by the AO is without application of mind and simply going by the information received as per AIR Data. Hence the reopening of the assessment is quashed being invalid.
The writ petition is not maintainable challenging the notice issued under Section 148 of the Income Tax Act. The Hon’ble Supreme court in GKN Drive Shafts’ case reported in 259 ITR 19 (SC), clarified the procedure to be followed, when notice is issued under Section 148. Therefore, the petitioner has to follow such procedure including by asking the reasons for reopening the assessment. Upon the request so made, the reasons can be furnished and the petitioner can file objections and the Officer thereafter has to pass a speaking order before proceeding with the assessment. In this case, the writ petitioner has not filed the return and on the other hand filed the present writ petition straightaway.
HLG Memorial Hospital Pvt. Ltd. Vs ACIT (ITAT Kolkata) In the reasons supplied to the petitioner, there is no whisper, what to speak of any allegation, that the petitioner had failed to disclose fully and truly all material facts necessary for assessment and that because of this failure there has been an escapement of income […]
Akshaya Souharda Credit Cooperative Limited Vs ITO (ITAT Bangalore) The issue under consideration is whether A.O. is correct in re-opening of assessment based on the same material on which he relied at the time of assessment u/s 143(3)? The assessee is a co-operative engaged in providing credit facilities to its members. The assessee filed its […]
Since the final assessment orders after amalgamation was passed in the name of non-existent company by the AO, the same was bad in law and therefore, set aside.
