Reopening under amended Section 147 failed where the Assessing Officer relied only on high-value bank credits and debits already recorded in the books and audited accounts. The Court held that mere volume of inter-group loan transactions, without tangible material showing escapement of income, could not justify reassessment; absence of an NBFC licence and non-charging of interest were also irrelevant on the facts.
