Under section 254(2) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, the Tribunal has the power to rectify mistakes in its order. However, the power to rectify a mistake is not equivalent to a power to review or recall the order sought to be rectified. Rectification is a species of the larger concept of review. Although it is possible that the prerequisite for exercise of either power may be similar to rectifying a mistake apparent from the record, by its very nature, the power to rectify a mistake would not result in the recall and review of the order sought to be rectified. This was held by the Delhi High Court in C.I.T. v Hindustan Coca Cola Beverages P Ltd (293 I.T.R. 163).

NO manufacture in a hotel – A hotel industry is in the nature of a service industry. Strictly speaking, there is no manufacture or production of any ‘article’ in this industry. Even the food items and beverages, which are prepared in a hotel are to cater to the further comfort and service of their guests and, therefore, are commonly known as ‘catering services’. So, it would be wholly fallacious to extend the meaning of the word ‘manufacture’ and production used in the section in context to such catering services in the hotel industry. The order of the Tribunal holding that the assessee is entitled for investment allowance on hotel building, is not correct.
