FEW OTHER AMENDMENTS In case of search, the Assessing Officer having jurisdiction over the
person who has been searched, has the power to pass on the
documents etc. belonging to any other assessee to the Assessing
Officer having jurisdiction over such assessee. There has been
controversy as regards the meaning of “belonging to”. It is being
provided that if the Assessing Officer is satisfied that such
documents etc. belong to another assessee, he would be empowered
to pass on the documents etc. to other Assessing Officer to make the
assessment on such person.
Section 151 of the Act provides for approval in case of different
circumstances for reopening the assessment by Joint Commissioner
or the Commissioner. With a view to simplify the requirement, it is
being provided that in case reopening is within 4 years from end of
the assessment year approval will be required of Joint Commissioner
and in case of reopening beyond 4 years, approval will be required of
the Principal Chief Commissioner or Commissioner.

Under Section 263 of the Act Commissioner has the power for
revision of an assessment order if the order is erroneous and
prejudicial to the Revenue. There has been lot of litigation in regard
to the scope of above section. To overcome the judicial
pronouncements certain circumstances are being specified in the
section in which the order will be deemed to be erroneous and
prejudicial to the interest of Revenue.
Under the provisions of Income Tax Act accounts are required to be
audited and number of other certificates is required to be obtained
from Chartered Accountants. By way of amendment in section 288
of the Income Tax Act, it is being provided that no Chartered
Accountant who is not eligible for appointment as auditor under
section 141(3) of the Companies Act and who in any manner, as have
been provided in the Section, is related to or is interested in the
business of the assessee will not be eligible for audit / certification
function under the Act. Further, any Chartered Accountant who has
been convicted by a Court for an offence involving fraud shall not be

Monetary limit for deciding the appeal by Single Member of
Income Tax Appellate Tribunal is being increased from Rs. 5
lacs to Rs. 15 lacs of total income as computed by the Assessing
Officer.
Section 158A of the Act provides that if in case of an assessee an
identical question of law for another year is pending before High
Court or Supreme Court, he may furnish a Declaration before the
Assessing Officer or the Appellate Authority agreeing to apply the
final decision on question of law and accordingly he may not pursue
the matter and decision in the matter pending will be applied to this
year also. Now, with a view to make the corresponding provision to
check the repetitive appeals, a new section 158 AA is proposed to be
inserted providing that after the order of Commissioner (Appeals)
the Department would not file appeal before the Tribunal if similar
question is pending before the Supreme Court for another
assessment year, subject to assessee agreeing to the position.
Against order of Commissioner rejecting the application for approval
or renewal under section 10(23C) of educational institution or
hospital, so far there was no specific provision for appeal to Income
Tax Appellate Tribunal and, therefore, only Writ petition could be
filed in the High Court. Now the provision is being made for filing
the appeal to Income Tax Appellate Tribunal.
