As evident, question of allowability of exemption was already considered and allowed by AO during original assessment and there was no whispering in reasons recorded that there was any omission or failure on part of assessee in disclosing fully and truly material facts for assessment , therefore, reassessment notice issued beyond four years was hit by proviso to section 147 and was, therefore, invalid.

Reassessment - Notice beyond four years - No failure on part of assessee in disclosing fully and truly the material facts necessary for assessment -

Assessee challenged the notice by way of writ petition.Held: As evident, question of allowability of exemption was already considered and allowed by AO during original assessment and there was no whispering in reasons recorded that there was any omission or failure on part of assessee in disclosing fully and truly material facts for assessment and, therefore, reassessment notice issued beyond four years was hit by proviso to section 147 and was, therefore, quashed as invalid.
