Thus, the only aspect which emerges in the appeal is whether the adjustment has been made in compliance to 1st proviso to sec. 143(1)(a) of the Act. Considering the facts on record and the perusal of the provisions contained in sec. 143(1)(a) of the Act, we find that on this aspect, the revenue fails.
