ITAT Mumbai held that revisional order u/s 263 cannot be invoked if Assessing Officer has conducted enquiries and applied his mind and has taken a possible view of the matter.
Whether ITAT has the power to entertain additional ground without recording reasons and without following Rule 46A of the Income-tax rules, 1962 and whether jurisdictional issue relating to non issuance of notice u/s 143(2) can be raised at any time?
It is not a case of lack of enquiry or lack of proper enquiry. The PCIT does not in as many words states that there was lack of enquiry or lack of proper enquiry and all that is said is that the assessing officer did not verify these aspects which is factually incorrect. Therefore, it is not a case where the PCIT could have invoked his jurisdiction under Section 263 of the Act.
On facts we find that issues have been enquired into at length by AO and orders cannot be set aside on mere whims & fancies of Revisionary Authority
Only because the ld Pr. CIT being a higher authority and more wiser in experience considered that enquiry in some other aspects would have resulted in different opinion, does not give jurisdiction to exercise revisional power u/s 263. That being so the grounds raised are allowed and the impugned order of revisional authority is set aside.
ITAT held that matter relating to wages/labour expenses which was not subject matter of limited scrutiny cannot be raised in revisionary proceedings u/s 263 for the first time.

ITAT Chandigarh held that AO erred in applying the rate of tax as 30% under section 115BBE instead of amended rate of tax 60% Accordingly revisionary power under section 263 rightly applied as order passed was erroneous and prejudicial to the interest of revenue.
Held that the mere fact that the assessment order has been passed in a cryptic manner, by itself cannot make the order erroneous or pre-judicial to the interest of Revenue Accordingly revisionary powers under section 263 of the Income Tax Act not invocable.
