AO has failed to examine these expenses during assessment-proceeding. 4. By the aforesaid show-cause notice, the assessee was asked to explain as to why the assessment-order may not be revised. In response thereto, the assessee did not make any compliance. Ld. PCIT issued another notice dated 16.02.2022 which again remained un-complied with by assessee. 5. Finally, Ld.

Being so, we uphold the impugned revision-order and decline to interfere in the matter. The assessee fails in this ground. Ground No. 2: ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
