The re-assessment orders passed under Section 147 were deemed valid as the original assessments were processed under Section 143(1). The appellants' challenge regarding the method of accounting was dismissed for lack of substantial argument. The classification of income as interest income instead of short-term capital gain was upheld, while the issue of speculative loss versus short-term capital loss was remanded for further evidence. The levy of interest and initiation of penalty proceedings were considered consequential and did not require separate adjudication. The appeals were allowed for statistical purposes, with directions for reconsideration of loss classification based on additional evidence. en-us Fri, 17 Jan 2014 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 13:02:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=246130 The Tribunal upheld the validity of the notices issued under Section 148 of the Income Tax Act, finding that the Assessing Officer had relevant material to form a belief of income escapement.
