The assessment order passed u/s 153C was erroneous and prejudicial to the Revenue's interest. The Assessing Officer initiated penalty proceedings u/s 271AAC instead of Section 271(1)(c). The order lacked recording of satisfaction that the assessee concealed income or furnished inaccurate particulars. Without such satisfaction recorded, the Principal Commissioner's revision u/s 263 is untenable, as per the Madras High Court's decision in Chennai Metro Rail Ltd. The authorities can levy penalty u/s 271(1) during assessment proceedings, but the revisionary power u/s 263 cannot be exercised to direct penalty initiation, creating uncertainty. The Tribunal relied on the Madras High Court's decisions in Chennai Metro Rail Ltd. and C.R.K. Swamy, setting aside the impugned revision order due to the absence of a finding on concealment or inaccurate particulars. The assessee's appeal was allowed.
