2021 (10) TMI 456 - AT - Income TaxRevision u/s 263 - As per CIT order passed by the A.O. is found to be erroneous in so far as it is prejudicial to the interests of the Revenue - incorrect/mistaken assumption of the facts of the case by way of accepting the statement of the assessee without due verification/erroneous application of provisions of the Act - HELD THAT:- A.O. had carried out all the necessary enquires and examined all the issues and had formed a possible view. It is also settled law that where two views are possible and the A.O. has taken one view, then in that eventuality, the assessment order cannot be treated as erroneous. See KWALITY STEEL SUPPLIERS COMPLEX [2017 (7) TMI 620 - SUPREME COURT] Even otherwise a bare perusal or bare reading of Section 263 of the Act, makes it clear that the prerequisite for the exercise of jurisdiction by the Commissioner suo moto under it, is that the order of ITO/AO is erroneous in so far as it is prejudicial to the interests of the revenue. The Commissioner has to be satisfied or twin condition and in case if one of them is absent then recourse cannot be had to Section 263. Thus while applying the principles laid down in the case of Sir Dorabji Tata Trust Vs DCIT(E) [2020 (12) TMI 1121 - ITAT MUMBAI] it is evident that in the present case, the A.O. had made all necessary enquiries and verifications as can be expected of a prudent, judicious and responsible A.O. in normal course of his assessment work. Even ld. PCIT has not specified as to what type of enquiry ought to have been made by the A.O. which would have resulted into income or disallowance or any other adverse action, therefore, in such circumstances, the order passed by the A.O. cannot be branded as erroneous and prejudicial to the interest of revenue, therefore, we set aside and quash the order passed u/s 263 of the Act. - Decided in favour of assessee.
