Reopening of assessment u/s 147 - scope of enactment of Section 148A - Before taxing any person it must be shown that he falls within the ambit of the charging section by clear words used in the section, and if the words are ambiguous and open to two interpretations, the benefit of interpretation is given to the subject.
