Political contribution deductions require assessee-specific proof before cash-back allegations can justify disallowance or unexplained-money additions...
ITAT adjudicated a case involving reopening of assessment under section 147, addressing two primary legal issues. First, regarding notice issuance post-1-04-2021, the tribunal held that prior approval from the competent authority under section 151 was mandatory. The AO's notice was deemed invalid as procedural requirements were not strictly followed. Second, concerning share transaction allegations, the tribunal ruled against revenue, determining that reassessment proceedings constituted a change of opinion since all material was previously examined during original assessment. The tribunal found the reopening of assessment invalid, effectively deciding in favor of the assessee and against revenue's claims of bogus share transactions.
