Peddu Srinivasa Rao [2011 (3) TMI 1495 - ITAT VISAKHAPATNAM] and PARDEEP KUMAR DHIR. [2007 (4) TMI 294 - ITAT CHANDIGARH-B]shows that the issue raised u/s 154 of the I.T.Act is a debatable one. For the aforesaid reasons, we are of the view that withdrawal of tax credit which was given in the assessment completed u/s 143(3) of the I.T.
