Reopening an assessment requires a recorded 'reason to believe' supported by tangible material showing nexus to escapement of income; the AO relied on receipt of funds from a related third party and unsubstantiated suspicion without citing documents or evidence, and failed to undertake reasonable enquiries to convert suspicion into belief.
