Reassessment jurisdiction requires recorded reasons to show an independently formed prima facie belief and a rational, live nexus between investigation material and income alleged to have escaped assessment. Information understood as relating to bogus purchases cannot support an assessment of the same amounts as unexplained unsecured loans without transaction-specific application of mind; subsequent findings cannot cure defects in the recorded reasons.

A preceding equivalent bank credit alone does not establish an accommodation entry without verification and cogent rebuttal of the disclosed source.
