ITAT overturned PCIT's revision order under s.263 concerning multiple issues in a telecom company's assessment. Key rulings: Interest/penalty on delayed license fee payments held as revenue expenditure, being compensatory rather than capital in nature. Carry forward of accumulated losses under s.72A allowed as demerger conditions were satisfied. No s.56(2)(x) implications arose on business acquisition through court-approved demerger. Transfer pricing adjustment directive rejected as AO had followed jurisdictional High Court precedent. Claims regarding TDS on bandwidth charges to non-residents, s.14A disallowance, depreciation verification, and s.269SS compliance were found to have been adequately examined during original assessment. ITAT emphasized that PCIT's revision powers cannot be exercised where AO has conducted proper inquiry, even if conclusions differ.
