Sec. 147 of Income Tax Act, 1961— Re-assessment - There is no failure on the part of the assessee. On the other hand, there appears to be a failure on the part of the assessing officer to make an appropriate determination of the amount of expenditure in terms of Section 14 A of the Act. In such a case, the remedy for the Revenue is elsewhere and not in assuming jurisdiction under Section 147 of the Act. That would amount to exercising the power of review which the statute has not conferred on the authority. This is particularly because the attempt to reopen is made after the expiry of 4 years from the end of the assessment year and the original assessment was made under Section 143(3). The authority cannot take advantage of their own wrong. If they failed to perform their statutory duty, the consequence of default cannot fall on the assessee.
