But the Assessing Officer was not satisfied with the explanations of the assessee and observed that the commission charges are subject to TDS under Section 194H of the Act and the Hire charges are subject to TDS under section 194C of the Act. In both the cases, the assessee has failed to deduct TDS and disallowed the claim and assessed total income of ₹ 70,71,404/- and passed order under Section 143(3) r.w.s. 147 of the Act dt. 19.01.2015.

We on perusal of the assessment order under Section 143(3) of the Act dt. 13.12.2010 find that, the assessee has submitted the details and the Assessing Officer made ad hoc addition referred at Page 2 para 2 of the order which is read as under: 2.

If the Assessing Officer has reason to believe that any income chargeable to tax has escaped assessment for any assessment year, he may, subject to the provisions of sections 148 to 153, assess or reassess such income and also any other income chargeable to tax which has escaped assessment and which comes to his notice subsequently in the course of the proceedings under this .....

We find that the assessee has produced bills and vouchers for expenditure, prima facie, the Assessing Officer has not verified the facts of TDS/material filed on record, therefore the mistake on the part of assessing officer in the original assessment cannot be a reason for reopening of assessment.
