That the CIT(A) has failed to appreciate that there was no failure on the part of the assessee to disclose fully and truly all material facts necessary for the computation of income; and therefore, reopening beyond four year was illegal and not maintainable as per law. 4.

On a similar issue the Hon'ble Jurisdictional High Court in the case of CIT Vs Rajinder Kumar (supra) held has under: "When the respondent assessee deducted TDS in March 2007, i.e. last month of the previous year and paid the same before in April 2007 before the said date i.e. the date on which return of Income u/s 139(1) of the Act is to be filed.
