2020 (10) TMI 1360 - ITAT DELHIReopening of assessment u/s 147 - as per assessee notice was not properly served - service of notice u/s 148 issued through notice server, assessee refused to receive the notice, subsequently, notice was sent through speed post which was not received back - HELD THAT:- No infirmity in the order of the lower authorities in rejecting the contention of the assessee that notice was not properly served. The revenue has made three different attempts to serve the notice. Firstly, by notice server on 22.03.2007 which was not accepted by the assessee. This is not disputed by assessee. Secondly, notice was sent through speed post which is not received back by the AO. Thirdly through fixtures on 30.03.2007. Same is also not disputed by the assessee. There is no reason given to us that whether all the three actions of the ld AO were not correct. Accordingly, we dismissed ground No. 1 of the appeal. Taxation of interest on enhanced compensation - assessee has not produced any evidence whether the interest on enhanced compensation is received u/s 34 or u/s 28 of the Land Acquisition Act - HELD THAT:- Interest u/s 28 is unlike interest u/s 34 is accretion to the value, hence, it is part of enhanced compensation whereas the interest u/s 34 of the Act is interest. As no information is available on record, we set aside the whole issue back to the file of the ld AO with a direction to the assessee to show that with reference to various order, under which section of the Land Acquisition Act interest is received by the assessee. AO may examine the whole issue with respect to taxability of the same and decide it afresh. The assessee is directed to submit the complete information before the ld AO within 3 months from the date of this order and thereafter the issue may be decided on the merits of the case. Accordingly, ground No. 2 and 3 of the appeal are allowed with above direction.
