CIT v. Honda Siel Power Products Ltd.

333 ITR 547High Court2011#1502 most cited

What is CIT v. Honda Siel Power Products Ltd. authority for?

The Commissioner cannot exercise revisional power under Section 263 if the Assessing Officer (AO) has adopted one of the courses permissible in law or where two views are possible and the AO has adopted one of them. A regular assessment made under Section 143(3) carries a presumption of application of mind, and the CIT must demonstrate how the AO's order is unsustainable in law and prejudicial to revenue, not merely disagree with the view.
