        <h1>Validity of Income Tax Reopening Upheld, Emphasizes Need for Supporting Evidence</h1> <h3>M/s. Vedanta Limited Versus Assistant Director of Income Tax, (International Taxation), Chennai</h3> M/s. Vedanta Limited Versus Assistant Director of Income Tax, (International Taxation), Chennai - [2021] 439 ITR 719 (Mad) Issues Involved:1. Legality of the reopening proceedings under Section 147 of the Income Tax Act.2. Adequacy and timing of the reasons furnished for reopening.3. Allegation of change of opinion versus reason to believe.4. Compliance with procedural requirements under Section 148(2) of the Act.5. Adjudicability of factual details in writ proceedings.Issue-wise Detailed Analysis:1. Legality of the Reopening Proceedings under Section 147 of the Income Tax Act:The writ petitions challenge the reopening proceedings initiated under Section 147 of the Income Tax Act, specifically questioning the order disposing of the rejections filed by the petitioner. The petitioner argues that there is no valid reason for reopening, and the reasons furnished do not comply with the requirements under Section 147. The court notes that the final assessment order for the assessment year 2002-03 is undisputed, but the initiation of reopening under Section 147 is contested. The court emphasizes that reopening must be based on tangible materials and not merely on a change of opinion.2. Adequacy and Timing of the Reasons Furnished for Reopening:The petitioner contends that the reasons for reopening were furnished more than a year later, suggesting a lack of reasons at the time of issuing the notice under Section 148. The court examines whether the reasons were recorded prior to the issuance of the notice, as mandated by Section 148(2). The court finds that the reasons were indeed recorded by the predecessor of the current officer and communicated to the petitioner, thus complying with the procedural requirements.3. Allegation of Change of Opinion versus Reason to Believe:The petitioner argues that the reopening is a classic case of change of opinion, as the same materials were considered during the original assessment. The court distinguishes between 'reason to believe' and 'change of opinion,' noting that the former must be based on new materials or information. The court acknowledges that the reasons furnished for reopening include new details that were not previously adjudicated, thus constituting a valid reason to believe.4. Compliance with Procedural Requirements under Section 148(2) of the Act:The petitioner asserts that the reasons were not recorded before issuing the notice under Section 148, violating Section 148(2). The court, however, finds that the reasons were recorded by the predecessor officer and communicated to the petitioner, fulfilling the procedural requirements. The court emphasizes that mere statements without proof are insufficient to challenge the validity of the reasons recorded.5. Adjudicability of Factual Details in Writ Proceedings:The court highlights that it is not expected to conduct a detailed enquiry into the facts at the initiation stage of reopening proceedings. The court's role is to ensure that the procedures for reopening are followed, not to adjudicate on the merits of the factual details provided by the petitioner. The court advises the petitioner to participate in the reassessment process and present all relevant materials to the Assessing Officer.Conclusion:The court concludes that the reasons for reopening have substance and directs the petitioner to participate in the reassessment process. The writ petitions are dismissed, and the reopening proceedings are to continue and be concluded expeditiously.
