PCIT Vs Oberoi Hotels Pvt. Ltd. (Calcutta High Court) Section 292BB does not dispense with issuance of any notice that is mandated to be issued under the Act, but merely cures the defect of service of such notice if an objection in such regard is not taken before completion of assessment or reassessment as time […]
In the present cases on hand, the request made by the writ petitioner had been complied with and the reasons for reopening of the escaped assessment had been communicated to the writ petitioner. The said propositions are very well recognised by the Supreme Court of India in the case of GKN Driveshafts (India) Ltd. Thus the very provision stating that the Assessing Officer should record the reasons does not mean that the same should be communicated along with the notice itself.
State Bank Of India Vs ACIT (Bombay High Court) It is submitted that in this case, the Assessing Officer while passing the regular assessment orders had overlooked and/or ignored this particular claim. It is submitted that it is not a case of change of opinion as neither the assessment order referred to allowing of this […]
CIT(A) has rightly quashed the assessment because the very foundation for issuance of notice under section 148 is the approval from the competent authority, i.e. Commissioner of Income Tax, and in the absence of such, such notice is void ab initio.

It is not as if such claim went unnoticed or unscrutinized. He wanted to be specific about the assessee’s claim for deduction […]
Vague information given by DIT (inv) there is no other material the AO collected after preliminary enquiry which could have enabled him at the time of recording reasons to come to a conscious independent conclusion that income of the assessee has escaped assessment.
There was no new tangible material evidence brought on record by AO. Assessment was reopened only on the basis of details available on record and wrongly interpreted by AO.
The issue under consideration is whether the addition made by AO u/s 68 of Income tax Act, 1961 is justified in law?
PCIT Vs JP Infrastructure (P) Ltd. (Gujarat High Court) During the original assessment, both the questions raised by AO in reassessment notice, were already examined by AO through a specific queries raised in this respect. Therefore, reassessment being based on mere change of opinion was invalid. FULL TEXT OF THE HIGH COURT ORDER / JUDGMENT […]
CIT(A) quashed the reassessment proceedings on the ground that the same has been initiated on a non-existing entity and, therefore, the reassessment proceedings are void ab initio.
