INCOME TAX ACT, 1961

Section 147

Since relevant details were very much available before AO during the course of original assessment proceedings, therefore, failure on part of AO to apply the law correctly could not confer power to reopen the case.

Reassessment - Reason to believe - No fresh tangible material -

AO reopened assessment on the reasoning that future content expenditure debited to P&L Account should have been disallowed being contingent in nature. Held: All the relevant details were very much available before AO during the course of original assessment proceedings, therefore, failure on part of AO to apply the law correctly could not confer power to reopen the case. Accordingly, reassessment was set aside for want of fresh tangible material.
