Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd v. ACIT (2025) 478 ITR 358 / 176 taxmann.com 103 (Bom)(HC)

S.147: Reassessment-After expiry of four years-No failure to disclose material facts-Change of opinion-Dividend from trust-Investment allowance wrongly claimed-Reopening invalid. [S. 2(22)(e), 10(34), 32AC, 143(3), 148, Art. 226]

Allowing the petition the Court held that, where during original scrutiny under section 143(3) the assessee had fully disclosed the receipt of dividend from a trust and the claim of investment allowance and the Assessing Officer had examined the same, reopening after four years based on a mere bald allegation of failure to disclose material facts amounted to a change of opinion. Notice under section 148 and the order rejecting objections were quashed. (AY. 2013-14, 2014-15.)
