..... tion 263, we are of the opinion that order of the Ld. CIT cannot be justified on any reason. Since the entire claim of finance charges has been examined by the A.O. and as he has disallowed the amount to the extent assessee could not furnish the details, any other opinion by the Ld. CIT cannot be justified Not only that there is nothing else to direct the A.O. to examine again when the claim itself was examined in the course of scrutiny and A.O. has came to a conclusion by disallowing part of the amount. No further purpose would be served by setting aside the order to A.O. to examine afresh, when Ld. CIT order did not indicate that there are any issues on which A.O. has not examined.

In response, assessee furnished relevant details and it is observed that majority of these finance charges are incurred towards discounting charges. However, an amount of ₹ 3,07,808/- was also included under these discounting charges paid to M/s. DPJ Viniyog Pvt. Ltd.

..... icial to the interests of the Revenue. If one of them is absent-if the order of the ITO is erroneous but is not prejudicial to the Revenue or if it is not erroneous but is prejudicial to the Revenue-recourse cannot be had to s. 263(1). There can be no doubt that the provision cannot be invoked to correct each and every type of mistake or error committed by the AO; it is only when an order is erroneous that the section will be attracted.
