ORDER
PER: N. K. BILLAIYA, AM
This appeal by the assessee is directed against the order of the
Commissioner of Income Tax [Appeals] Ghaziabad dated 03.11.2017
for Assessment Year 2009-10.
2. Vide Ground N0. 1 to 3, the assessee has challenged the
reopening of the assessment and by Ground No. 4, the assessee has
2
ITA No.-1273/Del/2018
challenged the addition of Rs.33,15,990/- made to the returned
income of the assessee.
3. Briefly stated the facts of the case are that on the basis of the
information received from DDIT Investigation, Unit 5 (1), New Delhi.
The A.O came to know that the assessee has paid donation of Rs.12
lcas in cash, Rs. 16.50 lacs through demand draft and Rs. 1.62
lacs in cash against regular fee for admission of his daughter
Vaishali Kein in Santosh Medical College, Ghaziabad. As per the
A.O, the said information was found during the search and seizure
operation carried out on 27/06/2013 in Santosh Group of
Institutions and Dr. P. Mahalingam, Ghaziabad. On the basis of
this information, and after recording reasons and obtaining prior
approval from the PCIT, Ghaziabad, notice u/s 148 of the Act was
issued and served upon the assessee along with questionnaire.
4. The assessee was confronted with the information and was
asked to explain the sources of funds from which the assessee has
made the impugned payments. In its reply, the assessee stated that
he has paid Rs. 1, 60,000/-, his daughter has paid Rs. 50,000/-
3
ITA No.-1273/Del/2018
and his wife has contributed Rs. 2 lacs and the total fees paid for
the year was Rs. 4.10 lacs.
5. Not accepting the submissions of the assessee, the A.O was of
the firm belief that the information received from DDIT,
Investigation shows that the assessee has paid donation of Rs. 12
lacs in cash 16.50 lacs through DD and 1.62 lacs in cash. And
accordingly treated the amount of Rs.30.12 lacs as unexplained
made out of undisclosed sources and added the same to the income
of the assessee.
6. The assessee strongly agitated the matter before the CIT (A)
but the CIT(A) was convinced with the findings of the A.O and
dismissed the appeal.
7. Before me, the Counsel for the assessee vehemently stated
that the A.O without making any enquiry/investigation has simply
borrowed the information given by the Investigation Wing without
applying his own mind before the issue of notice u/s 148 of the Act.
It is the say of the Counsel that the total tuition fees for the first
4
ITA No.-1273/Del/2018
year was only Rs. 4 lacs and the complete fee of four and half years
course was Rs. 18 lacs. Therefore, the claim of the A.O that the
assessee has paid Rs. 30.12 lacs is in correct and, therefore, not
only the reopening should be quashed but the addition made
should also be deleted. Per contra, the DR strongly supported the
findings of the A.O and read the operative part of the order of the
CIT(A).
8. I have given a thoughtful consideration of the orders to the
authorities below and with the assistance of the Learned Counsel. I
have considered the relevant documentary evidences brought on
record in the form of paper book in the light of Rule 18 (6) of the
ITAT Rules. Exhibit 18 is part of the information received from the
office of DDIT Investigation and at Serial No. 33 the name of the
student Vaishali Kein has been mentioned. And as per this
schedule the assessee has paid Rule 30.12 lacs which includes
donation of Rs. 12 lacs, regular fee paid through demand draft Rs.
16.50 lacs, regular fee paid in cash Rs. 1.62 lacs. At the same time,
I find a certificate issued by the Office of the Finance & Accounts
Maharaji Education Trust Santosh Group of Institutions,

Ghaziabad, which is exhibited at Page 27 of the paper book and the
same read as under:-

9. A perusal of the aforementioned certificate shows that the
tuition fees for the first year is Rs. 4 lacs and the total tuition fees
for the entire course of four and half years is 18 lacs. I find that
neither the A.O nor the CIT(A) has made any enquiry from the
Institution regarding this certificate.
10. There is no dispute that the A.O has simply borrowed the
information received from DDIT, Investigation. The reasons
recorded for reopening the assessment read as under:-
"Reasons for the belief that income has escaped
assessment.
An information has been received from DDI (1.pv.) Unit-5(1), New
Delhi that Sh. Ratan Pal Kein, has paid donation of Rs. 12,00,000/-
in cash, Rs. 16,50,000/- through DD and Rs. 1,62,000/- in cash
against regular fee for the admission in MMBS course of his
daughter Ms. Vaishali Kein, during the F.Y. 2008-09 relevant to A.Y.
20C9-10 in Santosh Medical College, Ghaziabad. The above
information was found during the search and seizure operation
carried out on 27/06/2013 in Santosh Group of Institution & P.
Mahalingam, Ghaziabad.
I have gone through the contents of letter of DDI (Inv.) New
Delhi and found that the sources of above deposits are not known
and it is assumed that above deposits have been made by the
assesses out of undisclosed sources which was not offered to tax for
7
ITA No.-1273/Del/2018
A.Y. 2009-10.
Therefore, I have reasons to believe that the income of
Rs.30,12,000/- (Rs. 12,00,000/- + Rs. 16,50,000/- + Rs. 1,62,000/-),
has escaped assessment within the meaning of section 147 of the I.T.
Act, which was chargeable to tax for A.Y. 2009-10. If approved, notice
u/s 148 of the I.T. Act, 1961, may be issued."
11. On identical set of facts the Co-ordinate Bench in ITA No.
4035/Del/2017 has decided the appeal in favour of the assessee
and against the Revenue. The relevant findings of the Co-ordinate
Bench read as under:-
"6. Assessee aggrieved with the order has preferred the appeal before
us.
7. The learned authorized representative submitted :-
(i) That the reasons recorded by the Assessing Officer are based on
information supplied by the Investigation Wing; there is no
independent application of mind by the Assessing Officer. He referred
to the reason which clearly shows, according to him, that there is no
enquiry made by the Assessing Officer. He, therefore, submitted that
the issue is squarely covered in favour of the assessee by the decision
of the Hon'ble Delhi High Court in Signature Hotels Pvt. Ltd. Vs. ITO
338 ITR 51 (Del.);
(ii) He further stated that satisfaction recorded by the approving
authority has merely mentioned "Yes". He submitted that such
satisfaction without any reasoning is incorrect. He referred to the
8
ITA No.-1273/Del/2018
decision of the Hon'ble M.P. High Court in CIT Vs. S. Goyanka Lime
and Chemical Ltd. 56 taxman.com 390 (MP). He further stated that
Hon'ble Supreme Court has dismissed SLP against the same;
(iii) He further stated that information was received during the course
of search and, therefore, the learned Assessing Officer should have
invoked the provisions of section 153C of the Act and not section 148
of the Act. For this he relied upon the decision of Co-ordinate Bench in
Rajat S. Chhaterji Vs. ACIT in ITA. No. 2430 (Del) of 2015 [order dated
20.05.2016];
(iv) On the merits of the case he submitted that assessee has not paid
any money other than Rs.15 lakhs to the institute and, therefore, in
absence of any evidence, addition cannot be made;
(v) He further submitted that no cross examination of the person
whose statement was recorded was given to the assessee and in
absence of cross examination when assessee specifically denied such
payment no addition can be made in the hands of the assessee.
7.1 In the end, he submitted that re-opening is invalid and further the
addition on the merit also cannot be sustained.
8. The learned Departmental Representative contested the arguments
of the learned authorized representative and submitted that there is a
definite information received by the Assessing Officer in the letter that
assessee has paid Rs.70 lakhs for the admission of his son. The
learned Assessing Officer has reason to believe that income of the
assessee has escaped assessment. With respect to the merits he
submitted that copy of the statement was given to the assessee and
there is no request of cross examination. He, therefore, submitted that
assessee does not have any case on the merits. He supported the
orders of the lower authorities.
9
ITA No.-1273/Del/2018
9. We have carefully considered the rival contentions and also the
orders of the lower authorities. The assessee is an Individual, who filed
his return of income under section 139(1) of the Act at
Rs.1,52,100/-. During the course of search, under section 132 of the
Act on 27.06.2013 on Santosh Group of Institutes and Dr. P.
Mahalingam, certain documents were seized. The documents revealed
receipt of donation over and above the regular course fees. Dr. P.
Mahalingam, in his statement under section 132(4) has admitted the
receipt of un-accounted money. From those papers it was found that
assessee's son, Dr. Neeraj Goel, who is pursuing MD course in that
institute on 3.02.2010 has paid Rs.15 lakhs as regular fees and Rs.55
lakhs as donation. This information was received by the Assessing
Officer vide letter dated 11.03.2015. Based on this, the learned
Assessing Officer recorded the reasons for re-opening under section
147 of the Act, which are placed at page No. 1 of the paper book. The
same is as under :-
"ANNEXURE A
Reasons recorded for issuing Notice u/s 148 of the Act.
Name of the assessee : Shri Shiv Charan Goel
Address : 1/7032, Shivaji Park, Shahdara,
Delhi - 110 032.
PAN : Not-available.
Assessment year : 2010-11
A letter dated 05.03.2015 has been received from the Deputy Director
of Income Tax (INV.), Unit-5(1), New Delhi in respect of information
regarding fee of Rs.70,00,000/- paid in cash to Santosh Medical
College, Ghaziabad by Shri Shiv Charan Goel F/O Dr. Neeraj Kumar
Goel R/o 1/7032, Shivaji park, Shahdara, Delhi - 110 032.
10
ITA No.-1273/Del/2018
Based on the above information I am satisfied that the fee paid of
Rs.70,00,000/- in cash is assessee's own unexplained income from
undisclosed sources and liable to be assessed in the hands of the
assessee. Therefore, I have reason to believe that unexplained cash
paid towards fee is chargeable to tax and the same has escaped
assessment for the year under consideration and is a fit case for
reopening u/s 148 of I.T. Act.
The proposal for obtaining kind approval of the competent authority;
to initiate proceedings u/s 147/148 is hereby put up for necessary
approval. Submitted for further directions and approval please.

(Deepak Kumar )
Income Tax Officer
Ward 56 (4), New Delhi.
Whether the Addl. CIT, Range-56, N. Delhi satisfied on the reasons
recorded by the AO that it is fit case for the issue of notice u/s. 148.
Yes
Sd/- 27/3/2015.
Addl. Commissioner of Income Tax,
Range-56, New Delhi. "
9.1 On the same date the reasons were approved by the Addl.
Commissioner of Income Tax, Range 56, New Delhi. While approving
he has simply mentioned "Yes". Therefore, now the question arises
that whether the re-opening has been correctly initiated by the learned
Assessing Officer or he has simply acted on the information received
from the Investigation Wing. On perusal of the reasons recorded it is
apparent that the learned Assessing Officer referred to the letter dated
5.03.2015 received from the Dy. Director of Income Tax, Investigation,
and based on that information he stated that he is satisfied that the
fee paid of Rs.70 lakhs in cash is assessee's unexplained income from
11
ITA No.-1273/Del/2018
undisclosed sources. According to the provisions of section 147 of the
Income Tax Act if the Assessing Officer has reason to believe that
income has escaped the assessment then only he can re-open the
assessment. The reason has to be of the assessee and cannot be
borrowed one. The Hon'ble Delhi High Court in para No. 15 in
Signature Hotels Pvt. Ltd. Vs. ITO (supra) has held that there is no
reference to the document or statement in this case except the letter of
the Investigation Wing, which has been quoted in the reasons. The
Annexure also does not show prima facie or establishes nexus for link
which discloses escapement of income. Further the Assessing Officer
did not apply his own mind to the information and examined the basis
and material or the information. The Addl. Commissioner also granted
his approval mechanically. The facts are similar to the facts before the
Hon'ble Delhi High Court. The Hon'ble Delhi High Court then held that
the reasons do not satisfy the requirement of section 147 of the Act.
Therefore, respectfully following the decision of the Hon'ble Delhi High
Court, we also hold that re-opening in this case also does not satisfy
provisions of section 147 of the Act. In view of this the order passed by
the learned Assessing Officer does not stand the test of the ratio Page
| 9 I.T.A. No. 4035 (Del) of 2017 - Shri Shiv Charan Goel, Delhi laid
down by the Hon'ble Delhi High Court. The learned CIT (Appeals) while
upholding the action under section 147 has held that assessee has not
filed any return of income. However, when we look at the assessment
order, the addition made by the learned Assessing Officer is to the
original returned income of Rs.1,52,100/-. Therefore, this finding of
the learned CIT (Appeals) is not in conformity with the records. With
respect to the finding of the learned CIT (Appeals) that Addl. Director
was in possession of adequate information so merely writing "Yes"
fulfills the requirement of approval. We note that it is not the Addl.
Director, who has approved the re-opening mechanically. Further such
approval is also not in conformity with the decision of Hon'ble M.P.
12
ITA No.-1273/Del/2018
High Court. In view of the above facts, we reverse the finding of the
lower authorities and set aside the assessment order passed by the
learned Assessing Officer holding that re-opening under section 147 is
not valid.
12. The Co-ordinate Bench in another case in ITA No.
1106/Del/2018 had the occasion to consider the appeal again on
similar set of facts and once again decided the issue in favour of
the assessee and against the Revenue. The relevant findings of the
Co-ordinate Bench read as under:-
6. I have heard both the parties and carefully considered the
same. I note that in this case the AO while recording the reasons
for the belief that income has escaped assessment has recorded
the reasons as under:-
"In this case, as per record the assessee has not filed her
return of income for AY 2007-08. Further, as per
information received. Ms. Megha Gupta, r/o 2-E, Kamla
Nagar, Delhi PAN ALBPG3157A, during the F.Y. 2006-07
relevant AY 2007-08, has given donation in cash of Rs.
21,00,000/- for admission in the course of MBBS to the
Santosh Medical College, Ghaziabad. As, the assessee
has not filed her return of income for the relevant
assessment year i.e. AY 2007-08. Therefore, all the cash
transaction made treated as her income from undisclosed
sources.
In view of the above, I have reason to believe that
assessment Ms. Megha Gupta, PAN ALBPG3147A has
escaped her income of Rs. 21,00,000/-. The income of
Rs. 21,0,000/- is escaped assessment within the
13
ITA No.-1273/Del/2018
meaning of section 147(b) and is to be taxed
accordingly."
6.1 After perusing the aforesaid reasons recorded, I find that it is a
case where action has been taken mechanically on the basis of
information received from investigation wing, and, not on an
independent application of mind and therefore on this ground too,
the proceedings are without jurisdiction. It is apparent from the
fact that according to the AO, Investigation Wing has informed that
assessee has paid cash of Rs. 21,00,000/- for admission in the
course of MBBS to Santosh Medical College, Ghaziabad. It has
been further noted that the assessee has not filed return of income
for the relevant assessment year i.e. Assessment year 2007-08
and, AO has invoked section 148 of the Act to verify the source of
cash paid of Rs. 21,00,000/-. Thus, the AO has acted mechanically
and without any independent application of mind. It is also evident
that while alleging cash payment of Rs. 21 lacs it is not even
known or stated on which date and on what basis such sums was
allegedly paid by assessee; the reasons recorded are therefore
vague, highly non specific and reflect complete non-application of
mind. That reasons recorded are 'reason to suspect' and, is a mere
attempt to carry out fishing and roving expedition. It is also noted
that in the absence of specific and incriminating material much
less tangible and, relevant material to form even prime facie belief
that there was alleged payment of Rs. 21,00,000/- is also apparent
from the fact that the alleged document found and seized during
the course of search/survey action u/s 132/133A of the Act does
not reflect any figure of Rs. 21 lacs and in the absence of any
independent enquiry or examination of facts on record or noticing
the content of alleged documents in the reasons recorded and,
reasons being silent as to the specific facts, the vague allegation
14
ITA No.-1273/Del/2018
shows that action has been taken mechanically on the basis of
alleged report of investigation wing, and, not on independent
application of mind and therefore on this ground too, the
proceedings are without jurisdiction. It is also noted that there is
no live link or direct nexus between alleged material and,
inference. It is a case of investigation in the garb of action u/s 148
of the Act on the basis that proceedings have been initiated on the
basis of no material much less any tangible and, relevant material
and as such reasons record do not constitute valid reason to
believe for initiating proceedings u/s 147 of the Act. In this regard,
I draw support from the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme
Court 320 ITR 561 (SC) CIT vs Kelvinator of India Ltd. It is further
noted that initiation of proceedings is also based on non
application of mind much less independent application of mind but
is a case of borrowed satisfaction. To support this view, I draw
support from the following decisions:-
i) 384 ITR 147 (Del) Pr. CIT v. G&G Pharma India Ltd. (introduction of share
capital)
"Today when the case was called out, Mr. Sawhney produced
before the Court the very same letter of the AO dated 15th
September 2010 which has been reproduced in its entirely in the
impugned order of the ITAT. He submitted that the AO was
himself present in the Court and further efforts would be made
to locate the materials on the basis of which the AO formed his
opinion regarding reopening of the assessment. The Court was
not prepared to grant further time for this purpose since it was
not clear that the materials were, in fact, available with the
Department. In the present case, after setting out four entries,
stated to have been received by the Assessee on a single date
i.e. 10th February 2003, from four entities which were termed as
15
ITA No.-1273/Del/2018
accommodation entries, which information was given to him by
the Directorate of Investigation, the AO stated: I have also
perused various materials and report from Investigation Wing
and on that basis it is evident that the assessee company has
introduced its own unaccounted money in its bank account by
way of above accommodation entries." The above conclusion is
unhelpful in understanding whether the AO applied his mind to
the materials that he talks about particularly since he did not
describe what those materials were. Once the date on which the
so called accommodation entries were provided is known, it
would not have been difficult for the AO, if he had in fact
undertaken the exercise, to make a reference to the manner in
which those very entries were provided in the accounts of the
Assessee, which must have been tendered along with the return,
which was filed on 14th November 2004 and was processed
under Section 143(3) of the Act. Without forming a prima facie
opinion, on the basis of such material, it was not possible for the
AO to have simply concluded: "it is evident that the assessee
company has introduced its own unaccounted money in its bank
by way of accommodation entries". In the considered view of the
Court, in light of the law explained with sufficient clarity by the
Supreme Court in the decisions discussed hereinbefore, the basic
requirement that the AO must apply his mind to the materials in
order to have reasons to believe that the income of the Assessee
escaped assessment is missing in the present case."
ii) 395 ITR 677 (Del) Pr. CIT v. Meenakshi Overseas (P) Ltd. v. ITO
"36. In the present case, as already noticed, the reasons to
believe contain not the reasons but the conclusions of the AO one
after the other. There is no independent application of mind by the
AO to the tangible material which forms the basis of the reasons
16
ITA No.-1273/Del/2018
to believe that income has escaped assessment. The conclusions
of the AO are at best a reproduction of the conclusion in the
investigation report. Indeed it is a 'borrowed satisfaction'. The
reasons fail to demonstrate the link between the tangible material
and the formation of the reason to believe that income has
escaped assessment.
37. For the aforementioned reasons, the Court is satisfied that in
the facts and circumstances of the case, no error has been
committed by the ITAT in the impugned order in concluding that
the initiation of the proceedings under Section 147/148 of the Act
to reopen the assessments for the AYs in question does not satisfy
the requirement of law.
38. The question framed is answered in the negative, i.e., in
favour of the Assessee and against the Revenue. The appeal is,
accordingly, dismissed but with no orders as to costs.
iii) 396 ITR 5 (Del) Pro CIT v. RMG Plyvinyl (I) Ltd.
11. There can be no manner of doubt that in the instant there was
a failure of application of mind by the AO to the facts. In fact he
proceeded on two wrong premises - one regarding alleged non-
filing of the return and the other regarding the extent of the so-
called accommodation entries.
12. Recently, in its decision dated 26th May, 2017 in ITA
NO.692/20l6 (Principal Commissioner of Income Tax-6 v.
Meenakshi Overseas Pvt.
Ltd.), this Court discussed the legal position regarding reopening of
assessments where the return filed at the initial stage was
processed under Section 143(1) of the Act awl not under Section
17
ITA No.-1273/Del/2018
143(3) of the Act. The reasons for the reopening of the assessment
in that case were more or less similar to the reasons in the present
case, viz., information was received from the Investigation Wing
regarding accommodation entries provided by a 'known'
accommodation entry provider.
There, on facts, the Court came to the conclusion that the reasons
were, in fact, in the form of conclusions "one after the other" and
that the satisfaction arrived at by the AO was a "borrowed
satisfaction" and at best "a reproduction of the conclusion in the
investigation report."
13. As in the above case, even in the present case, the Court is
unable to discern the link between the tangible material and the
formation of the reasons to believe that income had escaped
assessment. In the present case too, the information received from
the Investigation Wing cannot be said to be tangible material per se
without a further inquiry being undertaken by the AO. In the
present case the AO deprived himself of that opportunity by
proceeding on the erroneous premise that Assessee had not filed a
return when in fact it had.
14. To compound matters further the in the assessment order the
AO has, instead of adding a sum of 78 lakh, even going by the
reasons for reopening of the assessment, added a sum of Rs.1.13
crore. On what basis such an addition was made has not been
explained.
15. For the aforementioned reasons, the Court is satisfied that no
error was committed by the ITAT in holding that reopening of the
assessment under Section 147 of the Act was bad in law."
18
ITA No.-1273/Del/2018
6.2 Keeping in view of the facts and circumstances of the case as
explained above and respectfully following the precedents, as
aforesaid, the proceedings initiated by invoking the provisions
of section 147 of the Act by the AO and upheld by the Ld. CIT(A) are
nonest in law and without jurisdiction, hence, the assessment is
quashed. Since I have already quashed the assessment, the other
grounds have become academic and are therefore not adjudicated
and accordingly, the assessee's appeal is allowed."
13. The facts of the case in hand are identical to the facts
considered by the Co-ordinate Benches (supra). Therefore,
respectfully following the findings of the Co-ordinate Benches, I am
of the considered view that the proceedings initiated by invoking
provisions of Section 147 of the Act are non east of law and without
jurisdiction. Hence, the assessment is quashed. Since, the
assessment order has been quashed by me. I do no find it
necessary to well into merits of the case. Appeal filed by the
assessee is accordingly allowed.
14. In the result, appeal filed by the assessee is allowed.
Order pronounced in the open court on 22 .05.2019.
