Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. and handed over the quite possession in its favour. All these facts were considered by the A.O. and being satisfied with the transaction qua the relevant provisions of the Act, the assessment order was framed u/s. 143(3) - Assessment order is neither erroneous nor prejudicial to the interest of the revenue.

If one of them is absent-if the order of the Income-tax Officer 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 section 263(1) of the Act. The provision cannot be invoked to correct each and every type of mistake or error committed by the Assessing Officer, it is only when an order is erroneous that the section will be attracted. An incorrect assumption of facts or an incorrect application of law will satisfy the requirement of the order being erroneous . 5. In the light of the settled proposition of law mentioned hereinabove, let us now see whether there is any wrong assumption of law or facts made by the A.O. while framing the assessment order dated 26.02.2015 u/s. 143(3) of the Act. 6. An agreement to sell dated 27.03.2007 for lands bearing survey number 220 221 was executed between assessee and R.Y. Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. in the presence of public notary.

(V.K. Pandey) Pr. Commissioner of Income-Tax-5 Ahmedabad 16. A perusal of the show cause notice clearly shows that the Principal CIT has not appreciated the facts of the case in true perspective. As mentioned elsewhere, the agreement to sell was entered on 27.03.2007 and the possession was given on 04.05.2007. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that the capital gains tax liability arose in A.Y. 2012-13 when the same was in A.Y. 2008-09 as per the relevant provisions of the IT Act. Therefore, it cannot be said that the assessment order framed u/s. 143(3) is erroneous and prejudicial to the interest of the revenue. 17. It is incorrect to say that the assessee has received a consideration of ₹ 5.63 crores. The conveyance deed dated 25.07.2011 perused by the Principal CIT was tri-partite deed comprising of seller [assessee], confirming party [R.Y. Infrastructure Pvt.

And the Hon'ble High Court, after considering the facts, held as under:- 6. It can thus be seen that though final order of assessment was silent on this aspect, the Assessing Officer had carried out inquiries about the nature of sale of land and about the validity of the assessee's claim of deduction under section 54F of the Act. Learned counsel for the Revenue however submitted that these inquiries were confined to the claim of deduction under section 54F of the Act in the context of fulfilling conditions contained therein and may possibly have no relevance to the question whether the sale of land gave rise to a long term capital gain. Looking to the tenor of queries by the Assessing Office and details supplied by the assessee, we are unable to accept such a condition. In that view of the matter, the observation of the Tribunal that the Assessing Officer having made inquiries and when two views are possible, revisional powers could not be exercised, called for no in .....
