The assessee is aggrieved and has preferred the following two grounds of appeal: - "1. In the facts and circumstances of the case and in law, the Ld.

It was further observed by him that assessee has claimed deduction of Rs. 1,04,70,137/- under section 80IB of the Act and Assessing Officer overlooked the fact whether the assessee has fulfilled all the conditions of that section or not. 5. Therefore, a notice was issued to the assessee fixing date of hearing on 6th February, 2020. On 6th February, 2020, assessee sought adjournment. Next date was given on 28th February, 2020. The learned PCIT mentioned that none attended on that date and therefore decided the issue on merits of the case. He held that the Assessing Officer is directed to verify with respect to the closing stock suppression of Rs. 83,66,359/- and also to verify whether the assessee has fulfilled all the requirement so f .....

We are of the view that if the case of the assessee is selected for limited scrutiny, The Assessing Officer could have inquired only on the issues for which were part of The Limited scrutiny reasons. Ld AO did not have power to go beyond those issues unless the case of the assessee was converted in to complete scrutiny after taking necessary approval. No such approval was shown to us . Therefore ld AO could not have gone beyond those points and made inquiries on other issues which were not the reasons for selection of case for limited scrutiny.

We find that assessee has sent email on 19th March, 2020 explaining the reasons that on account of provision of Section 263 of the Act cannot be exercised for the impugned assessment year. However, this explanation was not considered by the learned PCIT though order u/s 263 of the Act was passed on 24/3/2020. It is apparent that assessee did not attend the hearing on 20/2/2020 but before the order was passed assessee submitted its reply. Therefore in the interest of justice , we direct the assessee to produce the copy of the mail before the ld PCIT and raise all the co ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
