..... in the business of banking. The Assessee filed return of income for AY 06-07 declaring nil income under the regular/normal provisions of the Act. The Assessee however was liable to tax u/s.115JB of the Act on book profits.

Arguments were advanced before us to say that the order u/s.263 is virtually a revision of the original order of assessment u/s.143(3) of the Act dt.31.1.2008 and the order u/s.263 would be hit by the limitation of time laid down in Sec.263 of the Act.
