Section 147

Reassessment - Beyond four years - No failure to disclose fully and truly all material facts -
AO reopened assessment after expiry of four years from the end of relevant assessment year on the reasoning of audit objection that assessee had claimed excess allowance of deduction under section 36(1)(viia) and under section 36(1)(viii). Held: Reopening of assessment was done, based on internal audit query and all the relevant information required to reopen assessment was already available on record and original assessment was completed only after due verification by the then AO and there was no new material brought on record by the concerned AO. Accordingly, there was no failure on assessee's part to disclose fully and truly all mateiral facts and, therefore, reopening beyond four years was hit by proviso to section 147 and was, therefore, quashed as invalid.
