Taxpayer's victory: AO's order upheld, PCIT's revisionary powers under Sec 263 denied due to lack of independent application of mind.

Invocation of Section 263 by the Principal Commissioner of Income-Tax (PCIT), alleging non-application of mind and lack of jurisdiction. The key points are: The appellant maintained separate books of accounts for eligible and non-eligible units, which were duly submitted and accepted by authorities in previous years. The Assessing Officer (AO) conducted a detailed inquiry and examined the records before completing the assessment u/s 143(3). The PCIT invoked Section 263 solely based on audit objections, without independently applying mind. The ITAT held that mere audit objections cannot justify invoking Section 263, and the revenue failed to demonstrate how the AO's order was erroneous or prejudicial to its interests. Consequently, the ITAT decided in favor of the assessee, concluding that the PCIT lacked jurisdiction to invoke Section 263 in this case.
