Section 263: CIT cannot examine issue on merits- SC

June 2, 2022 1593 Views 1 comment Print

CIT LTU Vs Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd. (Supreme Court ) We have some reservations on the observation made in the impugned judgment that the Commissioner, while exercising the power of revision under Section 263 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, cannot examine an issue on merits. However, we are not inclined to issue […]

Once AO conducted adequate inquiry, invocation of section 263 is unsustainable

May 27, 2022 1203 Views 0 comment Print

We are of the view that since the issue raised in the show-cause notice has already been examined by the ld. Assessing Officer in detail by conducting adequate enquiry calling for material evidence and other documents supporting the claim of deduction under section 54F of the Act, proper application of mind and taken a plausible view in light of the settled judicial precedence as referred by the ld. counsel for the assessee, there remains no scope for the ld. PCIT to invoke the jurisdiction under section 263 of the Act.

Invoking power u/s 263, merely on the basis of suspicion, is unjustified

May 26, 2022 1650 Views 0 comment Print

The law is well settled that for exercising power u/s 263 twin conditions are required to be satisfied – (i) that the order should be erroneous and; and (ii) it should cause prejudice to the interests of Revenue. Moreover, it is not the case where the assessee failed to substantiate his claim, rather the explanation along with supporting evidences were placed before the assessing officer and the learned Pr.CIT.

No bar under law to initiate fresh reassessment proceedings

Shivsamarth Group Vs PCIT (ITAT Pune) Admittedly, in the present case, the order which is sought to be revised is the order dropping the reassessment proceedings u/s 147 of the Act.

Difference in MRP & Sales price is not Commission to attract section 194H TDS

Limited Scrutiny: Advance from customers cannot be treated as sundry creditors

M. M. Engineers and Consultants Vs PCIT (ITAT Cuttack) At the outset, a perusal of the balance sheet clearly shows that there is nothing in the balance sheet of the assessee under the term ‘sundry creditors’. We are alive to the fact that this is a limited scrutiny assessment, which is done under CASS. In […]

Vs ACIT (ITAT Nagpur) A plain reading of Section 263 makes it clear that, the precondition to exercise revisionary jurisdiction by the PCIT/CIT suo moto under it, is that the order of AO is erroneous insofar as it is prejudicial to the interests of the revenue is concern. Consequently, […]

Revision u/s 263 can be invoked only in a gross case of inadequacy in Inquiry

May 9, 2022 855 Views 0 comment Print

Only in a very gross case of inadequacy in inquiry or where inquiry was per se mandated on the basis of record available before AO and such inquiry was not conducted, the revisional power so conferred could be exercised to invalidate the action of AO.

Reasonable view of AO cannot be displaced in revisionary proceedings by any untenable or debatable view

May 8, 2022 633 Views 0 comment Print

A.O. had rightly endorsed the corroborated claim of the assessee in this regard, the PCIT, in our view, has attempted to substitute his wisdom by views of the A.O. without any definite basis. If the view of the PCIT towards the banakhat allegedly hollow or unenforceable is accepted, no income can be recognised at all.
