Parties Involved

Facts Summary

The assessee, a co-operative credit society assessed as an Association of Persons (AOP), did not file its original return of income for the assessment year 2015-16. The Income-tax Department had information about substantial financial transactions undertaken by the assessee during the relevant previous year, leading the Assessing Officer to reopen the assessment under section 147 of the Income-tax Act, 1961. The assessee subsequently filed a return of income declaring a total income of Rs. 15,24,220/-. During reassessment, the Assessing Officer made several additions and disallowances, assessing the total income at Rs. 46,82,599/-. Aggrieved by this order, the assessee appealed to the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals), whose order was also unfavorable to the assessee. The assessee then approached the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal with several grounds of appeal.…
