Correspondence with the Audit is in progress and subsequently if it is found necessary to finality of the correspondence the deduction under this section shall be modified under relevant section of the I.

As rightly held by the Tribunal, this note firstly shows that all the explanations and arguments of the Assessee have been considered by the Assessing Officer and secondly that the action taken under Section 263 is only on the basis of the audit party's note or report, who it would appear, ultimately did not approve .....
