We take inspiration from the judgment passed in the matter of Malabar Industrial Co. Ltd. as been relied upon in this respect.Hence, we find that order impugned u/s 263 cannot satisfy any of the conditions envisaged in the provision of law as discussed above. Fulfillment of twin conditions so as to the claim of the order being erroneous or prejudicial to the interest of Revenue also fails as already been discussed by us hereinabove. Thus the order impugned does not justify/fulfill any of the conditions within the four corners of law and hence liable to be quashed. Resultantly, the impugned addition .....

However, the Learned PCIT found such assessment order erroneous and prejudicial to the interest of the Revenue for the following reasons: (1) Scrutiny of the assessment records revealed that the assessee had claimed tax deducted at source (TDS) of ₹ 3,00,08,514/- on professional service income for the F.

Failure to deduct TDS on the amount of ₹ 14,52,503/- attracts the provisions of section 40(a)(1) under which any sum payable to a foreign company on which tax is deductible at source under Chapter XVII-B and such tax has not been deducted was required to be disallowed. In view of the above, professional fees of ₹ 14,52,503/- was required to be disallowed. However, no such disallowance was made in assessment order. This has resulted in under assessment of income of ₹ 14,52,503/-. Accordingly, show-cause dated 08.03.2016 was served upon the assessee as to why approp .....

More so the reconciliation statement of difference between service income as per Profit and Loss account and as worked out based on TDS was also furnished by the assessee before the Learned PCIT. However, such submission rendered by the assessee was not found acceptable by the Learned PCIT. He, therefore, held the assessment order passed u/s 143(3) of the Act dated 25.03.2014 was erroneous and prejudicial to the interest of Revenue.

Further that while framing assessment u/s 143(3) by an order dated 25.03.2014 the Learned AO specifically mentioned in para 11 that the credit for prepaid tax (i.e. TDS) has been given after verification and its calculation as per ITNS 150. Thus the issue was already examined by the Learned AO. Apart from that, the legal point being fulfillment of twin conditions that the order of the AO be erroneous and also prejudicial to the interest of Revenue has not been satisfied before invoking jurisdiction u/s 263 of the Act.
