2022 (1) TMI 142 - AT - Income Tax


Issues:
1. Appeal by Revenue against CIT(A) order on unexplained expenditure and deposits.
2. CIT(A) relying on inadequate submissions, failure to conduct independent inquiry, and ignoring court judgment.
3. Jurisdictional issues in framing reassessment order under Section 147/143(3).
4. Original assessment annulled, case reopened under Section 147, and assessment completed again.
5. CIT(A) allowing appeal on merits, deleting all additions.
6. Tribunal's consideration of similar cases quashing reassessment orders under Section 147.

Analysis:
1. The appeal was filed by the Revenue against the CIT(A) order concerning unexplained expenditure and deposits added to the assessee's income. The CIT(A) deleted the additions, prompting the Revenue's appeal.
2. The Revenue contended that the CIT(A) erred in law by relying on inadequate submissions, failing to conduct an independent inquiry, and disregarding a court judgment, leading to the deletion of the additions.
3. The jurisdictional issues arose regarding the framing of the reassessment order under Section 147/143(3) without complying with mandatory conditions, as argued in the Cross Objections.
4. The original assessment was annulled, following which the case was reopened under Section 147 based on the same issues, leading to the completion of the assessment at the initial figure.
5. The CIT(A) allowed the appeal on merits, noting that the assessee provided complete details of debits, credits, loans, interest earned, and tax deductions, leading to the deletion of all additions.
6. The Tribunal, considering similar cases where original assessments were quashed and reassessment orders were challenged, held that the reassessment order under Section 147 could not be sustained. Citing precedents, the Tribunal quashed the assessment order, allowing the Cross Objection filed by the assessee and dismissing the Revenue's appeal.
