The Assessing Officer’s reasons for reopening referred solely to the failure to digitally file the audit report in Form 10CCB. Failure to digitally upload a form, when the audit report had in fact been furnished and was available for scrutiny, could not be equated with failure to make a full and true disclosure under section 147; therefore, reassessment notices dated March 26, 2019, and subsequent reassessment proceedings for AYs 2013–14 and 2014–15 were invalid.
