This appeal filed by the assessee is arising out of an order passed by the Pr. Commissioner of Income tax, Udaipur dated 22-02-2021 for the assessment year 2015-16. The assessee has raised the following grounds of appeal:-
“1. Because on the facts and circumstances of the case, the Learned Principal Commissioner of Income Tax erred in assuming jurisdiction under Section 263 of the Act, whereas the mandatory condition for assuming jurisdiction are totally absent with the result that the impugned order passed under Section 263 of the Act is bad in law.
2. Because the Learned Principal Commissioner of Income Tax has erred in assuming jurisdiction and reopening the assessment of the Appellant without there being any violation of the liberal provisions of Section 54 of the Act which otherwise are settled by literal construction as well as judicial precedents.
3. That the Learned Principal Commissioner of Income Tax has grossly erred in holding that deduction claimed under the head of capital gains have been erroneously allowed by AO without proper enquiry and verification whereas the assessee was duly assessed under the provisions of Section 143(3) which in itself bars the exercise of provisions of Section 263 without cogent reasons. Moreover, the same is patently change of opinion which otherwise is not permitted. 4. That further submissions shall be made at the time of hearing. 5. That the appellant craves leave to add, amend or alter all or any of grounds of appeal and relief claimed before or at the time of hearing.”
