Reassessment cannot be sustained where the reason to believe is founded on presumptions drawn from a sister concern's records rather than material showing escapement in the assessee's own case. The Court found that alleged on-money receipts were inferred by assuming a cash component in the petitioner's sales merely because another group entity faced allegations of unaccounted receipts, with only a director's profit-sharing interest and an Excel file in his Gmail account as the connecting material. The section 148 notice was quashed.
