22 May 2016 Notice under Section 142(1) is usually served to call upon documents and details from the tax payers, and to take a particular case under assessment.

The issue of a notice under section 148 of the Income-tax Act, (‘the Act’) calling upon the Taxpayer to file a return of income for the year specified in the notice is the starting point of the Re-assessment (Re-audit) proceedings.

A Re-assessment proceeding – also referred as “re-opening” of the assessment – is initiated by the “assessing officer” when he has “reasons to believe” that income of a Taxpayer has “escaped” assessment for any year.

A notice can be issued even if a Return has already been filed for the year and the same has also been scrutinized / audited. However, the notice has to be in accordance with the parameters laid down under the law –within the prescribed time-limit and supported by ‘valid reasons’.
