of <h1>Tribunal decides reassessment barred for certain years under specific sections</h1> <h3>Commissioner of Income-Tax Versus Vaikundom Rubber Co. Ltd.</h3> The Tribunal held that reassessment for the assessment years 1975-76 to 1977-78 was barred, while for 1978-79 and 1979-80, it was not. The Court ... Reassessment, Limitation, Exclusion From Limitation Issues involved: The judgment involves income-tax references referred by the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal, Cochin, concerning reassessment for different assessment years, with questions raised by both the Department and the assessee.For the assessment years 1975-76 to 1977-78:The Department questioned the reassessment being barred by limitation and the validity of the reassessment under section 147(a) or 147(b). The Tribunal held that the reassessment for these years was barred as it could only be under sections 147(b) and 150, not 147(a.For the assessment years 1978-79 and 1979-80:The assessee questioned the notice under section 148 issued for 1978-79, arguing the time limit specified under section 150(2) read with section 147(b). The Tribunal found reassessment for these years was not barred by limitation.Details of the Judgment:The case involved a company appealing before the Madras High Court regarding compensation received on land acquisition. The High Court judgment allowed the appeal, affecting the assessment years. The Assessing Officer initiated reassessment based on subsequent judicial decisions regarding interest taxation. The Tribunal determined that reassessment for 1975-76 to 1977-78 was barred, while for 1978-79 and 1979-80, it was not. The Department argued for reassessment under section 147(a), but the Tribunal disagreed, stating it fell under section 147(b) and section 150(1).The Court analyzed the meaning of 'subject-matter of appeal' in section 150(2) and concluded that for 1978-79, reassessment would also be barred if the date was taken from the order of the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals). Ultimately, the questions of law were answered in favor of the assessee for the years 1975-76 to 1977-78 and against the Department for the years 1978-79 and 1979-80.The Income-tax References were disposed of accordingly.
