First, we shall take up additional ground of appeal raised by the assessee, wherein the assessee is aggrieved by re-assessment order passed under section 147 r.w.s. 143(3) of the Act. The plea of assessee before us is that assessment was reopened in the hands of assessee on account of insurance premium paid to Tata AIG Life Insurance. Our attention was drawn to reasons recorded under section 147 of the Act by the Assessing Officer, which are placed at page 1 of Paper Book. The learned Authorized Representative for the assessee pointed out that the Assessing Officer had made various add .....

The perusal of assessment records passed under section 147 r.w.s. 143(3) of the Act reveals that no such addition was made in the hands of assessee on this count. However, various other additions have been made. 9. The question which arises is that in the re-assessment proceedings, wherein no addition was made on account of reasons recorded for reopening the assessment, is the as .....

We thus, hold that re-assessment proceedings completed in the case of assessee, wherein no addition has been made on account of reasons recorded for reopening the assessment cannot stand and is bad in law. The additional ground of appeal raised by assessee is thus, allowed. 12. Now, coming to the Revenue's appeal in ITA No.543/PUN/2015, relating to assessment year 2007-08, it was t .....
