Once revised return is validly filed & accepted, the original return is non-est, as it is completely substituted by the revised return. Now let us deal with 'Market Value'. On perusal of the assessment order & all other records, we find that facts with regard to adaptation of 'market value' are clear. The assessee has adopted a 'value' which is market value and the department has substituted the same by another value. The department is contending that the 'market value' as adopted by AO is the most appropriate since it represents price charged by the State Grid to various customers including the assessee. Hence, the same should be considered. The AR of the assessee submits that the value adop .....

In the open market, where a basket of 'Market Values'[say like, independent third party transactions, grid price (average annual landed cost at which grid has sold power to the assessee), Power Exchange Price for the relevant period etc.] are available, the law does not put any restriction on the assessee as to which 'Market Value' it has to adopt, it is purely assessee's discretion. So long as the assessee has adopted a 'Market Value' as the transfer price, that is sufficient compliance of law. AO can adopt a different value only where the value adopted by assessee does not correspond to the 'market value .....

The volumes of transaction as relied upon are also substantial and hence it cannot be said that the assessee has hand picked 15 some transactions, which are beneficial to it. The DR submitted that since the assessee has itself drawn power from the grid, the grid rate represents the 'best market value' & hence the same should only be adopted. We are not agreeable to the above contention of the department. No doubt the grid rate is market value but there is no concept of 'best' market value in law. If by using the said adjective, Revenue seeks to infer that grid rate is the only market value in the present context, such inference is also clearly not tenable. Further, in case there are option .....

Accordingly, we delete the disallowance as made by the AO in order u/s 143(3) on account of deduction u/s 80IA of the Act and hence the grounds 1 & 2 are accordingly decided in favor of the assessee." 27. The said issue is also answered in favour of the assessee. 28.
