The AO has the power to reopen the
assessment,but such reassessment cannot be initiated on a mere change of
opinion to merely re-examine an issue on the basis of information or material
which was already available to the AO at the time of the completion of the
original assessment.“Reason to believe” could never be an outcome of
a change of opinion. Consequently, before taking any action,he is required to
substantiate his satisfaction in the reasons recorded by him. If such reasons
recorded disclose a mere change of opinion the assessment proceedings cannot be
initiated. Once the AO has made an assessment on the
primary facts and documents placed before him, he cannot at another point of
time form another opinion on the same primary facts and arrive at a conclusion
that he had committed an error or come to a conclusion that he has now reason
to believe that income had escaped assessment and reopen the assessment
proceedings. ix.Further, on the basis of an audit report, notice under section
148 cannot be issued as such audit report cannot be regarded as “information”
within the meaning of 147

ITAT noticed the decision of its co-ordinate Bench in Justice Sam P. Bharucha v. Addl, Commissioner of Income Tax, Mumbai 25 Taxmann.com 381 (Mum) and observed that in the present case, the AO had not recorded any finding that any expenditure incurred by the Assessee was attributable for earning the exempt income. In order to disallow the expenditure there must be a nexus between the expenditure incurred and the income not forming part of the total income.

Given the manner and functioning of the lawyers and law firms, it is correct that the categorization of a receipt can take place only at the time of appropriation i.e. in case of fees only when the matter is over or as when the Assessee decides on the quantum of fees. This will not be the entire advance received as at the time it is received it does not bear any particular characterization for the purposes of treating it as income. Hence mere receipt of advance can not be treated as income in the year of receipt of amount although cash system of accounting is being followed by the advocate.
