Section 147

Addition made in reassessment on a ground different from the one for which notice under section 148 was issued lacked legality.

Reassessment - Validity - Addition made on different ground- - No addition on subject matter of section 148 notice.

AO reopened assessment so as to make disallowance under section 40A(3), however, AO made addition on account of bogus purchases without making disallowance under section 40A(3).Held: AO could not proceed with reassessment if grounds mentioned in re-assessment were non-existent, i.e., if no addition was made on that score. Accordingly, reassessment was set aside.
