Ankita A. Choksey v. ITO

411 ITR 207High Court2019#2512 most cited

What is Ankita A. Choksey v. ITO authority for?

For reassessment proceedings to be valid, especially after a return is merely processed under Section 143(1), the Assessing Officer must have a genuine "reason to believe" that income escaped assessment, based on correct facts and proper application of mind. If the assessee disputes the facts, the order on objections must address and establish their correctness, and sanction under Section 151 cannot be mechanical.
