2023 (1) TMI 864 - AT - Income TaxReopening of assessment u/s 147 - validity of notice issued u/s.143(2) within the stipulated time period - investment towards purchase of the properties as sourced from the cash refund of loans from his relatives - HELD THAT:- As the assessee had impliedly filed his return of income in compliance to the notice u/s.148 of the Act, dated 07.08.2006 therefore, the notice issued u/s.143(2) dated 13.11.2006 was well within the stipulated time period. In our considered view the Ld. AR had confused the time period that was available for issuing notice u/s.143(2) in case of a simplicitor assessment, wherein such notice for the year under consideration i.e. A.Y.2004-05 could not have been issued beyond 31.03.2006. Be that as it may, as notice u/s.143(2) dated 13.11.2006 had validly been issued within the stipulated time period from the date of filing of return of income by the assessee u/s. 148 of the Act, i.e. on 07.08.2006 (supra), we, therefore, finding no substance in the aforesaid claim of the Ld. AR, dismiss the same. Addition u/s 69A - As the assessee had failed to substantiate on the basis of irrefutable documentary evidence that the cash withdrawals made from his aforesaid bank account were utilized for making investment of Rs.5 lac in in question, therefore, we are unable to concur with the claim of the Ld. AR that both the lower authorities had erred in making/sustaining the addition of the said amount u/s.69A in the hands of the assessee. We, thus, in terms of our aforesaid observation, finding no merit in the claim of the assessee, uphold the order of the CIT(Appeals). Grounds of appeal No.(s) 1 to 3 raised by the assessee are dismissed.
