However, the same was duly sought to be rectified by the Learned AO in section 154 proceedings as it is not a debatable issue and the said mistake is patent , glaring and very obvious AO had clearly mentioned the mistake sought to be rectified in the notice u/s 154 of the Act itself. We don't endorse the arguments of the Learned AR that when there is no computation under the head capital gains while determining the taxable income, the resultant capital loss cannot be set off against the business income. This is a glaring mistake committed by both assessee as well as by the Learned AO in original scrut .....

But the impact of the same would be effected in the computation of income tax depreciation statement filed by the assessee. The Learned AO did not disturb the income tax depreciation figure claimed by the assessee. The assessee did not disallow the loss on sale of assets in the sum of ₹ 10,27,456/- voluntarily in the return of income. The Learned AO also omitted to disallow the same in the original scrutiny assessment proceedings u/s 143(3) of the Act.

In response to this, the Learned DR vehemently supported the orders of the lower authorities and stated that the Learned AO had clearly stated in the notice issued u/s 154 of the Act the mistake proposed to be rectified and hence the decision stated by the Learned AR is distinguishable to the facts of the instant case. 7.

We find that the said notice is totally vague. The Assessing officer has not even indicated as to on what basis he has allowed excess set-off. Notice under Section 154 of the Act, therefore, was not maintainable. The second notice under Section 148 of the Act was issued squarely on the basis of notice under Section 154 of the Act. In the circumstances, the High Court was right in setting aside both the notices. We, therefore, see no reason to interfere with the impugned order. Accordingly, the civil appeal filed by the Department is dismissed with no order as to costs. 7.1 We are in total agreement with ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
