Reopening of assessment - Reasons to believe - ACIT jurisdiction to issue the notice u/s 148 - The Tribunal concluded that the reasons for reopening were based on credible information from the Investigation Wing, providing sufficient grounds for prima facie belief of income escapement. The approval from the PCIT, although brief, was considered valid as there was no evidence indicating lack of proper application of mind. - The Tribunal rejected the appellant's argument about the notice being issued after the prescribed time limit, noting that the acknowledgment from the postal authorities confirmed receipt within the deadline. Objections regarding reasons for issuing notices under section 143(2) and inadequate time for compliance were deemed meritless.
