The AO after having carried out adequate enquiries and having verified the claim of expenditure under the provision of section 40(a)(ia) of the Act had partly disallowed which disallowance have been appealed before the First Appellate Authority cannot be thrust upon the AO for re-consideration in the line of holding a view which view as per the show cause notice and as per the deliberation in the order differ – order u/s 263 set aside – Decided in favour of Assessee. - ITA No.632/Kol/2012 - - - Dated:- 19-4-2013 - K K Gupta and Mahavir Singh , JJ.

..... esaid without seeking supporting evidence or submissions from the assessee and without examining TDS liability under provision of Sec.194C of the Act, the AO has rendered the assessment order both erroneous and prejudicial to the interest of Revenue. 3. However, on having found no specific defects or matters erroneous and prejudicial to the interest of the Revenue the ld. CIT in his order has tried to reconsider the option to the AO, in so far as, after having established that the facts of the assessee s case clearly indicate invoking the provision of chapter XVII B whether could proceed with the consequent disallowance u/s 40(a)(ia) of the Act was deliberated upon by the ld. CIT in the impugned order when the ld. CIT has tried to justify the assuming of the jurisdiction u/s 263 of the Act by him by holding a view that the AO never ever considered to have combined the committing of error as well as loss to the revenue.

However the ld. Counsel has filed the Paper Book enclosing all the details filed before the AO were part of the assessment records perused by the ld. CIT u/s 263. 6. The ld. DR supported the order of the ld. CIT in so far as the ld. CIT in his order has justified the invoking the provision of Chapter XVIIB and in the interest of natural justice directed the AO to further re-examine and re-verify in the lines of what he considered whether could be considered if not u./s 40(a)(ia) of the Act or 40A(3) of the Act. 7.
