of <h1>Reassessment invalid without reasonable belief; Section 68 addition deleted with proper creditor documentation and genuineness proof</h1> <h3>M/s Shankar Logistics (P) Ltd. Versus DCIT, Circle-7 (1), Kolkata</h3> M/s Shankar Logistics (P) Ltd. Versus DCIT, Circle-7 (1), Kolkata - TMI Issues:1. Validity of the reopening of the assessment.2. Merits of the additions made by the Assessing Officer.Issue 1: Validity of the reopening of the assessment:The appellant contested the validity of the reopening of the assessment for AY 2012-13, challenging the addition of Rs. 85,98,795 as unexplained income. The appellant argued that the reasons recorded by the Assessing Officer were vague and lacked specific details regarding the alleged accommodation entry received. The appellant contended that the reopening after four years without evidence of non-disclosure of material facts was unjustified. The appellant cited the Proviso to section 147, emphasizing the need for a valid reason to believe income escapement. The Tribunal agreed, stating that the reopening lacked proper verification and failed to establish non-disclosure by the appellant, thus violating the first Proviso to section 147.Issue 2: Merits of the additions made by the Assessing Officer:On the merits, the appellant presented various documents to prove the genuineness of the transaction, including ITR Acknowledgement, Audited accounts, loan confirmation, and bank statements. The appellant highlighted that the creditor's assessment order for AY 2012-13 did not show any unaccounted money receipt, supporting the creditworthiness of the creditor. The Tribunal concurred, noting that the Assessing Officer made additions solely based on information without considering the appellant's evidence. The Tribunal found the appellant's documents sufficient to establish the transaction's genuineness, leading to the quashing of the assessment.In conclusion, the Tribunal allowed the appeal, holding the assessment as bad in law due to the unjustified reopening and lack of merit in the additions made by the Assessing Officer.
