Satluj Credit And Holdings Pvt. Ltd. v. ITO (2023) 458 ITR 378 / 152 taxmann.com 401 (Mad)(HC)

S. 148A : Reassessment-Conducting inquiry, providing opportunity before issue of notice-Initial notice need only state issue on basis of which reopening of assessment is proposed-Writ petition is dismissed. [S.2(22)(e), 147 148, 148A(b), 148A(d), Art. 226]

Held that the assessee had submitted that the receipt had been delayed and it was only after a few years that the amounts had been received, such submission involved the appreciation of facts which were to be best considered by the authorities. The contention of the assessee to the effect that the tax liability of the receipt had not been stated in the show-cause notice was also devoid of merit, since the assessing authority had raised these issues specifically in the penultimate paragraph of the annexure to notice under section 148A(b) of the Act. Writ petition against the notice is dismissed.  (AY.2019-20)
