Assessee is contesting the jurisdiction of invoking revisionary proceeding as well as merits of the directions given by the CIT. 2. Briefly stated, assessee is engaged in manufacturing of white crystal sugar, alcohol and generation of power. The case was selected for scrutiny under CASS to Large Share application money received against un-allotted shares, large increase of unsecured loans and low net profit or loss shown from large gross receipts . When the assessment proceedings were pending, there were search and seizure operations U/s. 132 of the Act on 15-05-2012. Consequently, the pending proceedings got abated under second proviso to Section 153A of the Act. AO issued notices U/s. 153A and completed the assessment proceedings vide order dt. 27-03- 2015 after making necessary enquiries and disallowing an amount U/s. 14A r.w. Rule 8D. 3. Ld. CIT, Tirupati on examination of record was of the view that the order of AO was erroneous on the following issues: a) As seen from the Schedule Q, Notes to accounts, which contains the details of related party disclosures, assessee received Hire charges amounting .....

However, no reconciliation of the above figures is available on record. It is also seen that the issue of increase in unsecured loans is one of the reasons for CASS selection, but the details of loan creditors, confirmation from them etc. appear to have not been obtained. The same requires thorough examination. g) On perusal of balance sheet it is found that in addition to the share application money pending allotment as on 31.03.2011, an additional share application money of ₹ 75,29,73,245/- is received during the year and a total amount of ₹ 86,37,40,105/- is pending for allotment as at 31-03-2012. However, the details of the investors seem to have not been examined; Accordingly, exercising revisionary jurisdiction a notice u/s 263 was issued to assessee on the above issues. 4. Assessee in reply has given detailed explanation which was extracted in para 4 of the order of CIT, which is as under: (a) Short admission of ₹ 5.31 lakhs with regard to Hire Charges Hire charges received as shown in Profit and Loss account for the year ended 31.03.2012 is .....

Further, we have claimed as admissible expenses of professional fees of ₹ 3,32,537/- in the assessment year 2013-14 in memo of Total Income, since TDS has been paid in the financial year 2012-13. Copy of memo of total income for the Asst. Year 2013-14 is enclosed for your ready reference (Annex- IV) We have not claimed any deduction for a sum of ₹ 5,30,000/- after payment of TDS for the AY 2013-14 and claimed deduction only for a sum of ₹ 3,32,573/- after payment of TDS in the financial year 2012-13. Hence, again the question of disallowance u/s 40(a)(ia) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 will not arise.

With reference to share application money also which was received from one of the sister concerns, who is also covered by the search and shares were also allotted, Ld.CIT having taken up examination of few issues which in his opinion AO has overlooked. Ld. CIT should have undertaken the exercise of giving findings on the submissions made by assessee in the proceedings u/s. 263 of the Act. Without doing so, he has simply set aside the assessment for examination, which in our view does not require ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
