What did the Tribunal hold?

The Tribunal held that the reasons recorded for reopening did not indicate any failure on the part of the assessee to disclose truly and fully all material facts. The reassessment was based on a change of opinion and not on any specific allegation of suppression of material facts, making the reopening unsustainable.

What were the facts?

The assessee filed appeals against the orders of the CIT(A) for assessment years 2013-2014 and 2014-2015. The reassessment proceedings were initiated under Section 148 of the Income Tax Act, beyond the four-year period.

What were the issues?

Whether the reopening of assessment beyond the four-year period was valid without establishing failure on the part of the assessee to disclose material facts.

Which sections of the Income-tax Act were involved?

Section 147,Section 148,Section 143(3),Section 150(1),Section 150(2)
