Non-consideration of the assessee's replies before issuing a reassessment notice can vitiate the order where the statute requires those explanations to be examined before forming a view on escaped income. The text notes that the impugned order dealt only partially with the materials filed and did not analyse the commercial rationale or the specific explanations offered, so the formation of belief lacked a sustainable basis.
