Court: Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ITAT Delhi

Decided on: Mar-25-1998

Reported in: (1998)67ITD213(Delhi)

1. This appeal is directed against the order of the CIT(A) - III, New Delhi, dated 23-8-1991. The only ground raised by the revenue is as under :- "On the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the ld. CIT(A) erred in holding that the proceedings initiated under section 147 of the I.T. Act by issue of notice under section 148 on 20-4-1990 were not valid, without taking into consideration the amended provisions of section 147 introduced by the Direct Tax Laws (Amendment) Act, 1987 w.e.f. 1-4-1989." 2. The Ld. D.R. has argued that the order of the CIT(A) has erred in holding that the Assessing Officer was not entitled to commence proceedings under section 147(a) or 147(b) and thus the re-assessment proceedings initiated by virtue of notice under section 148 are not valid. He has also argued that notice issued under section 148 read with section 147 is procedural in nature. The amendment in these sections has been made by the Direct Tax Laws (Amendment) Act, 1987 w.e.f. 1-4-1989 and...
