CIT v. Ashish Rajpal

320 ITR 674High Court2010#838 most cited

What is CIT v. Ashish Rajpal authority for?

When an assessment has been framed after an inquiry, the Commissioner cannot revise the order under Section 263 merely because the assessment order does not explicitly detail the queries raised and responses received. An order is not erroneous or prejudicial to the revenue solely because the inquiry could have been more elaborate, provided the Assessing Officer applied their mind.
