The issue sought to be urged by the Revenue is whether the ITAT was justified in quashing the reassessment proceedings under Section 147 of the Act on the ground of change of opinion on the applicability of Section 40 (a)(ia) of the Act even when the Assessing Officer ('AO') had not expressed any opinion on the applicability of such provision during the original assessment proceedings under Section 143(3) of the Act?

Section 40(a)(ia) & 147 of the Income-tax Act, 1961—Reassessment —The record of the case clearly reveals that the Assessing Officer has not accepted the objections raised by the audit party and on the contrary has objected to such objections by communicating internally, therefore, the Assessing Officer has not formed any independent belief that the income chargeable to tax has escaped assessment and on the contrary has stated that he had considered the applicability of provisions of section 14A and was satisfied in adopting 0.5% of average value of investment for disallowance under section 14A, thus, the notice under section 148 has merely been issued on the basis of the audit objection without the Assessing Officer having formed the requisite belief regarding escapement of income as contemplated under section 147 - - PR.
