Reassessment u/s 147 Invalid: AO Lacked Concrete Evidence, Relied Only on CIB Report, No Nexus Established.

March 4, 2021

Case Laws     Income Tax     AT

Reopening of assessment u/s 147 - the AO has merely gone by the CIB report and was not even in possession of the sale deed and the exact specifics of the transaction at the time of recording of reasons and therefore, it is a case where the proceedings are vitiated for want of tangible material in possession of the AO and lack of reason to believe which is more in the realm of suspicion rather than formation of opinion that income has escaped assessment. The reasons thus recorded and/or the documents available on record, therefore, don’t show a link/nexus and relevancy to the opinion formed by the Assessing Officer regarding escapement of income. - AT
