Validity of reopening was examined with emphasis on limitation and newly inserted procedural safeguards; since the notice was time-barred the reopening was quashed. Taxation of undisclosed on-money receipts was assessed by estimating profit element; in absence of records the appellate authority adopted a 17% profit estimate on receipts, and allowed telescoping credit for income voluntarily declared under the disclosure scheme, treating declaration as sufficient without source specification.
