..... thorities as reproduced above. We find that the assessee had also duly explained the complete contents of the seized documents relied upon by the ld CIT in his order. In our considered opinion, those materials are not incriminating at all and are forming part of regular books of accounts of the assessee. These explanations have been completely ignored by the ld CIT while directing the ld AO to frame the assessment afresh. We hold that when an addition could not be made as per law in section 153A proceedings, then the said order cannot be construed as erroneous warranting revisionary jurisdiction u/s 263 of the Act by the ld CIT. Thus we find that the order of the ld CIT u/s 263 of the Act deserves to be quashed. - Decided in favour of assessee. - I.T.A No. 947/Kol/2017 - - - Dated:- 17-10-2017 - Shri N.V.Vasudevan, JM And Shri M.Balaganesh, AM For The Appellant : Shri A.K.Tulsyan, AR For The Respondent : Shri Goulean Hangshing, CIT DR ORDER Per M .

The assessee preferred an appeal against this order before the Learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) [ in short the ld CITA] who deleted the disallowance u/s 80IB of the Act vide his order dated 11.2.2016. On further appeal by the revenue to this tribunal, the same was dismissed vide order dated 30.11.2016 on the ground that there was no incriminating material found in the course of search and hence the assessment already framed u/s 143(3) of the Act could not be disturbed. On merits of the disallowance, the tribunal also held that the activity carried on by the assessee amounts to manufacture and hence is eligible for deduction u/s 80IB of the Act. In effect, the claim of deduction u/s 80IB of the Act was directed to be allowed for the Asst Year 2010-11 and was also further held that the concluded assessments cannot be disturbed wi .....

Please find enclosed herewith the details of addition to motor car along with copy of the registration certificate etc . The assessee used those motor lorries for carrying its products from one place to another . Thus, it is beyond any question that the lorries were used for the purpose of business of the assessee .

But instead of claiming the depreciation at 50 % , the accountant of the assessee not being professionally equipped and not very well accustomed with the taxation laws, mistakenly claimed the depreciation @ 30 %. Therefore, the assessee has inadvertently claimed a lower rate of contended by your honours of claiming a higher rate of depreciation . Th .....
