Book Free Consultation

Section 147 allows the assessing officer to reassess income believed to have escaped assessment in a prior year, based on information available with the department — often high-value transactions, property purchases, or third-party data. These proceedings are triggered following a notice under Section 148, and require a clear, well-documented explanation of the transactions in question.

At N D Savla & Associates, we represent clients across Nashik, Nagpur, Pune, Mumbai and the rest of Maharashtra through Section 147 reassessment proceedings, building submissions grounded in accurate records.
