2013 (10) TMI 2 - HC - Income Tax


Issues:
Impugning reassessment proceedings for Assessment Year 2006-07 under Section 148 of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Analysis:
The reassessment proceedings were initiated within the stipulated time frame of four years from the end of the relevant assessment year, rendering the additional requirement under the first proviso to Section 147 unnecessary. The petitioner initially declared "nil" income under normal provisions and Rs. 3,15,36,278/- under Section 115JB for the said assessment year. Subsequently, the Assessing Officer issued a reassessment notice based on information regarding a substantial sum received from a Japanese entity in the previous financial year. The petitioner belatedly disclosed the amount in question but failed to provide complete details promptly. The petitioner contended that the sum had already been included and taxed in the earlier assessment year, which remained unverified by the authorities. The court emphasized the importance of factual verification during assessment proceedings and directed the petitioner to furnish comprehensive details to the Assessing Officer for a fair assessment. The judgment highlighted the necessity for the Assessing Officer to consider all relevant information before proceeding with reassessment, ensuring a thorough examination of facts to avoid unnecessary harassment to the taxpayer. The court concluded by instructing that only one assessment order would be issued based on the provided information, maintaining fairness and efficiency in the process.
