sec 147 assessment

YES,

SEC 147 IS A MACHINEY PROVSION  & THERFORE ASSESSMENT HAS TO

BE MADE EITHER U/S 143(1) , 143(3) ,144   - Refer R Dalmia v/s  CIT (Delhi HC).

After assessment u/s 147 (ie complation of assessment, by issue of assessment order with demand order & penalty order) AO can't reopen the case and thus, there is no question of assessment u/s 144.

However, he can make fresh assessment, u/s 143(3) or u/s 147 if he has reason to believe for Sec 147, subject to time limit. And generally, time for issue of notice u/s 143(2) has lapsed and thus not possible to make a fresh assessment.

For application of Sec 144, there must be ongoing assessment where ROI is not filed or assessee is not co-operating with AO etc (refer legal provision of Sec 144).

So, there is no scope of application of Sec 144.

@ ARVIND-

mR RAKESH HAS NOT MENTIONED ANY SITAUTION  & U REFER TO THE ABOVE MENTIONED CASE LAW....ULL GET D ANSWER.
