On 22/11/2007, the assessee filed a revised return admitting a loss of ₹ 21,31,786/-. The return of income was processed u/s 143(1) on 13/07/2006 and refund of ₹ 2,41,947/- was issued. Subsequently, the return was selected for scrutiny. After issuing the statutory notices, the AO completed assessment u/s 143(3) of the Act, disallowing a sum of ₹ 2,62,825/- u/s 40A(3) of the Act and added the same to income of the assessee. 3. Thereafter, the CIT issued notice u/s 263 of the Act on 15/02/2010 holding that the assessment order dated 28/12/2007 passed by the AO was both erroneous and .....

Further, during the course of hearing, the CIT noticed that the assessee had started Training Centre at Mumbai and did not show any receipts from the Centre. He, therefore, directed the AO to bring to tax the receipts, if any, earned by the assessee after examination. 8.

In this connection, the jurisdictional Co-ordinate Bench in the case of AP Beverages Corporation (supra) held as follows: It is an admitted fact that when the notice was first issued under s. 263 on 10/10/2005, it was so issued for reasons noted in para 3 above, which have nothing to do with disallowance in respect of sports privilege fee under the AP Excise Act. It was only in the further notice dated 02/02/2006 issued by the CIT u/s 263, that the assessee was called upon to offer objections, if any, against disallowance of ₹ 5.90 crores deducted below the line as prior year expenses.

The question as to whether the increase due to the exchange fluctuation was revenue in nature was not even in the of the CIT when he had issued the notice. Hence, as this issue was not part of the show-cause notice dt. 22nd Dec., 2003, it is impermissible to expand the said notice by resort to letters as herein done, for if that be so, then there would be no end to the proceeding and it will go on getting expanded and expanded which is not permissible under law.

He explained the reason for contra entry was that the above amount was received in the FY 2005-06 (AY 2006-07 as evident from the TDS certificates which are as follows: Date of TDS Certificate Amount (in Rs) 11/05/2005 27,550 04/04/2005 1,44,690 08/04/2005 1,10,160 11/04/2005 77,955 13/04/2005 1,17,120 .....

Finally, the learned counsel for the assessee earnestly prayed that the addition of ₹ 7,36,555/- directed by the CIT u/s 263 be set aside and ordered to be deleted. The learned counsel for the assessee relied upon the decision of the Hon ble Delhi High Court in the case of Jindal Drilling and Industries Ltd. Vs. CIT [2008]301 ITR 304 (Delhi). 19.
