AT and the ITAT held as under:- It is also noticed that while deciding Ground No. 2 of assessee s appeal directed against non-allowance of dividend income of ₹ 80,45,977/- as exempt u/s. 10(33), the learned C.I.T.(A) has ignored the certificate of registration stating that only a faint photocopy of the certificate is attached but nothing is legible. After considering the entire facts of the present case, we are of the view that the learned C.I.T.(A) has not given effective opportunity of being heard to the assessee before disposing of its appeal.

There is no dispute that revised computation of income was filed during the assessment proceedings without revising the return of income within the time allowed u/s. 139(5) of the Act. Since the assessee had not filed any revised return within the time allowed u/s. 139(5), any revised computation which has the effect of revising the return cannot be entertained and allowed by the Assessing Officer. It cannot be allowed at this stage of appeal proceeding also because the time for filing revised return was over and this claim being belated cannot be entertained. In support the .....

In this regard, we have carefully considered the issue. We find that Hon ble Apex Court in the case Goetze India Ltd. vs. C.I.T. (Supra), while concluding has remarked that however, we make it clear that the issue in this case is limited to the power of the assessing authority and does not impinge on the power of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal under section 254 of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
