2016 (6) TMI 1004 - BOMBAY HIGH COURT

Revision u/s 263 - genuineness of the gift proved - Held that:- Assessing Officer was satisfied, consequent to making an enquiry and examining the evidence produced by the Assessing Officer, establishing the identity and creditworthiness of the donor as also the genuineness of the gift. The CIT in his order of Revision, does not indicate any doubts in respect of the genuineness of the evidence produced by the Assessee. The satisfaction of the Assessing Officer on the basis of the documents produced is not shown to be erroneous in the absence of making a further enquiry. It is made clear that our above observations should not be inferred to mean that it is open to the Assessing Officer to enquire into the source of source for the purpose of the present facts. This is a case where a view has been taken by the Assessing Officer on enquiry. Even if this view, in the opinion of the CIT is not correct, it would not permit him to exercise power under Section 263 of the Act. In fact, the Apex Court in Amitabh Bachchan (2016 (5) TMI 493 - SUPREME COURT ) has observed that there can be no doubt that where the view taken by the Assessing Officer is a possible view, interference under Section 263 of the Act, is not permissible. - Decided in favour of assessee
