Reassessment notice under section 148 was sustained because the Assessing Officer had independent information forming reasons to believe that income had escaped assessment by a wrong claim of deduction; accordingly reassessment proceedings were validly initiated. On the substantive claim under section 80IB(10), the notional entry arising from a joint venture accounting valuation did not represent real income in the relevant year as no approved housing project activity, sales or completion occurred; applying the real income principle and to avoid double taxation, the disallowance of the deduction was deleted and the related additions were reversed.
