VIBGYOR ENTERPRISES,KOLKATA vs. PCIT (CENTRAL) - 1, KOLKATA, KOLKATA

The only issue raised by the assessee in the various grounds of appeal is against the invalid exercise of jurisdiction u/s 263 of the Act, thereby setting aside the assessment order framed by the ld. Assessing Officer.

The facts in brief are that the assessee filed the return of income on 31.10.2019, declaring total income of ₹41,86,940/-. The assessee is engaged in the business of supply of materials to hospitals and also

The ld. PCIT on perusal of the said order noted that the assessee only offered 50% of the salary as voluntarily offered by the partners for taxation during the year, however, while offering the said income, the assessee’s claim for set off for tax claimed by the partners and consequently reducing the income of ₹27,16,500/- from the income on which tax was already paid by the partner for which there was no provision in the Act and accordingly, revised the assessment framed by the ld. AO by directing the ld. AO to frame the assessment afresh after offering reasonable opportunity of hearing to the assessee.

After hearing the rival contentions and perusing the materials available on record, we find that the assessee has offered ₹49 lacs

In view of the above facts and legal position, we are of the considered opinion that the revisionary jurisdiction has been invalidly invoked and consequently we are inclined to quash the revisionary jurisdiction exercised by the PCIT.

In the result, the appeal of the assessee is allowed.
