The AO during the assessment, examined the issue in detail and took a reasonable and plausible view on the claim made by assessee. The examination of this issue is clearly discernible from the contents of assessment order. The ld.AR for assessee submits that ld. Pr. CIT by examining the record may have a different view, thus, the revision of order passed by the ld. Pr.CIT is not valid for he has some other view. 6.

CIT [2019] 412 ITR 277 (Gujarat) held that merely because Commissioner held a different belief that would not permit him to take the order in revision, it if further held that when Assessing Officer made full enquiry, he made up his mind, the notice of revision is not valid. 13. Further, Hon'ble Madras High Court in CIT v. Mepco Industries Ltd. [2007] 163 Taxman 648/294 ITR 121 (Madras) held that when two views are possible on an issue and it is not the case of the Commissioner that the view taken by Assessing Officer is not permissible in law, Commissioner cannot invoke his jurisdiction under section 263 of the Act. As we have noted above the assessing officer has made enquiries on the allowability of deduction under section 80(P)(2)(d) and passed the assessment order, thus, the Assessing Officer has taken a reasonable and possible view which cannot be held as erroneous. 14.
