Can income escaping assessment proceedings can be done by A.O. in case, appeal was already filed against such case against notice issued u/s 143(3) limited scruitny assessment..
For this purpose you have to first understand the concept of Merger:
Concept of merger tells that order of Lower authority got merged with order of Higher Authority.
Now This Concept of Merger is further Bifurcated in two parts: PARTIAL MERGER and TOTAL MERGER.
CONCEPT OF PARTIAL MERGER:
If any CASE is pending with Higher Authority [say CIT(A)] then lower authority (i.e AO) can't open that MATTER which are pending in such appeal.
CONCEPT OF TOTAL MERGER:
If any CASE is pending with Higher Authority [say CIT] then lower authority (i.e AO) can't open ANY MATTER which are pending in such appeal.
In the entire act Concept of Partial Merger has been affirmed EXCEPT under section 264.
Now coming to your query- Under Section 147 concept of PARTIAL MERGER has been affirmed which means THAT MATTER WHICH HAVE BEEN GONE FOR APPEAL CAN'T BE OPENED U/S 147. But the matter which which has not been disputed can be opened and Disallowed later on by AO.
