2021 (11) TMI 507 - HC - Income TaxReopening of assessment u/s 147 - Change of opinion - deductions u/s 57 - HELD THAT:- On account of change of opinion of Assessment Officer about the manner of computation to deductions u/s 57 of the Act, reopening was not justified. The proposition in this judgment squarely applies to the case in hand as well. ITAT has concluded that during the assessment proceeding respondent had furnished actuarial form that showed negative result and the AO had made addition during the original assessment proceeding on account of actuarial surplus. Negative reserve was part of document furnished during the assessment and therefore it cannot be said that there was non disclosure of material facts relevant for assessment. ITAT has also observed that AO while passing assessment order has referred to the actuarial report as on 31/3/2003 and hence it cannot be said that AO has not made any inquiry in respect of negative reserve which has been shown in actuarial report. ITAT has also observed that the assessment order was passed with due application of mind and the AO has not brought any tangible material on record to show that there was any failure on the part of the assessee to disclose fully and truly all material on record necessary for assessment.
