Citing judicial precedents, the Tribunal held that failure to provide underlying material before passing order under Section 148A(d) invalidates reopening. The assessment order was consequently quashed.
The ITAT Mumbai held that reassessment notice issued beyond three years is invalid where alleged escaped income is below ₹50 lakh. Non-compliance with amended section 151 rendered the notice and entire proceedings void.
The Tribunal emphasized that approval from the correct specified authority is mandatory where reopening exceeds three years. Failure to comply rendered the reassessment proceedings void ab initio.
The Tribunal held that reassessment beyond four years is invalid where the assessee had fully disclosed material facts during original scrutiny. In absence of failure to disclose, reopening under Section 147 was quashed.
The ITAT held that approval under Section 151 was invalid as the PCIT merely noted As per Annexure without independent satisfaction. The reassessment under Section 147 was declared void ab initio.
The Tribunal held that reassessment proceedings fail when the Assessing Officer abandons the issue forming the basis of reopening. In such cases, other additions cannot be made without issuing a fresh notice under Section 148.
Bombay High Court held that notice u/s. 148 of the Income Tax Act issued after obtaining sanction under section 151 from the non-competent authority is invalid and not sustainable in law. Accordingly, notice is liable to be quashed and petition is allowed.
The Tribunal found no infirmity in the CIT(A)s detailed order deleting additions based on proper verification of evidence. All grounds raised by Revenue were rejected, and cross-objection became infructuous.
ITAT Delhi held that notice under Section 148 issued before obtaining mandatory approval under Section 151 is invalid. Since sanction was granted after issuance of notice, the reassessment was declared void ab initio.
The Tribunal confirmed the jurisdictional validity of reassessment based on new information. However, the addition was restored to ensure compliance with principles of natural justice and Section 250(6).
