This document analyzes the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal’s decision for ITA No. 1279/DEL/2020 for the assessment year 2010-11, involving appellant Jagdeep Bhargava and respondent Pr. CIT, Hisar. This case highlights significant judicial scrutiny under section 263 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, concerning alleged erroneous assessments and their implications on tax liabilities.
The core issue revolved around the PCIT’s use of section 263 to revise the assessment order initially issued under section 143(3) r.w.s 147 of the Income Tax Act. The tribunal meticulously examined the legality and procedural adherence concerning the invoked revisions, focusing on the substantive fairness and correctness of the initial assessments and subsequent revisions.
The tribunal considered various submissions, evidence, and legal precedents to ascertain whether the original assessment order was erroneous and prejudicial to the interest of the revenue. The decision elaborates on the principles laid down by the Supreme Court regarding the scope and limitations of the powers under section 263 of the Act.
The tribunal’s decision to set aside the PCIT’s order under section 263 and restore the original assessment by the AO underlines the critical judicial standards required for such revisions. This case serves as a precedent for the assessment of procedural and substantive justice in tax assessments and revisions.
