Dy.CIT v. Pacharia Exports P. Ltd (2022) 95 ITR 13 (SN) (Kol) (Trib)

S. 147 : Reassessment-After the expiry of four years-Accommodation entries-Information from DDI (Inv)-No failure to disclose material facts. [S. 68, 143(3), 148]

Tribunal held that during the course of assessment proceeding, the issue of raising loans has been examined at length by the AO by specifically calling upon the assessee to provide/furnish the details of the loans and advances raised during the year which was duly complied with by the assessee by filing all the details/evidences and the AO, only after examining them, accepted the plea of the assessee as regards the loans raised and accordingly framed the assessment u/s 143(3) accepting all those transactions. Besides the assessee has made full disclosure of these transactions in the books of account which have been examined at length by the AO during the course of original assessment proceeding. Therefore, the reopening of assessment u/s 147 in the present case, without any reference to failure on the part of the assessee to disclose all facts regarding the said loans in the return of income books of account and also during the assessment proceeding, is not justified and is in violation to proviso to section 147. Reassessment order was quashed. (AY. 2011-12)
