CIT, Delhi-V, New Delhi, issued notice under section 263 of the Act on the ground that the assessing officer had disallowed only an expenditure of Rs.2.65 lakhs being 10 per cent of the total expenditure at Rs.26,53,104/- whereas the entire expenditure of Rs.26,53,104/- incurred on renovation of building was required to be disallowed.

It was also not clear as to whether the assessee had claimed these expenses to be deferred revenue expenditure in previous year in which they were incurred. Accordingly, the ld. CIT (Appeals) had not adjudicated upon the issue of allowance of building, renovation expenses. Hence, the explanation (c) of sub-section (1) of section 263 was not applicable. She, therefore, set aside the order made on 31st March, 2006 for fresh adjudication on the issue. 6. Before us, the ld.

There is no dispute that the assessee had incurred expenditure in 1997 and the expenditure was claimed as deferred revenue expenditure over the period of the life of the assets. The assessing officer had disallowed the amount on the ground that the assessee had not given the entire details and the disallowance was accordingly restricted on ad hoc basis. However, on appeal the ld. CIT has found that the entire expenditure written off in the books of accounts at Rs.26,53,404/- was allowable as deduction. The ld.

Hon'ble Madras High Court has held that the ld. CIT has power of revision under section 263(1) of Income-tax Act, 1961 in respect of matters, which were not the subject matter of appeal.
