The Ld. CIT failed to consider that inadequate enquiry would not give an occasion to exercise jurisdiction under Section 263 of the Act. 6. The learned Commissioner ought to have appreciated the fact that the appellant had furnished all the details as required by the Assessing Officer in the course of assessment proceedings u/s.143(3) of the Act and thereby the AO was satisfied with the claim of the appellant and therefore the revision initiated under section 263 of the act was uncalled for. 7.

Accordingly the AO treated a sum of Rs.92,838/- as unaccounted cash credit under Section 68 of the Act and applied tax rate under Section 115BBE of the Act.
