TAB rejected as falling outside the jurisdiction of section 154 of the Act. In our considered view, no error can be said to be apparent on the face of the record if it does not manifest or self-evident and requires an examination or argument to establish it. As in the present case, the appellant after culmination of regular assessment proceedings brought up the matter u/s 154 before the Ld. TAB alleging the interest income charged to tax u/s 143(3) of the Act as unearned and wrongly crept-in in the ITR, which invariably requires to be established so only by re-examination of records which ispo-fact falls outside the jurisdiction of section 154 of the Act.
