CIT v. Sunbeam Auto Ltd.

332 ITR 167High Court2011#54 most cited

What is CIT v. Sunbeam Auto Ltd. authority for?

The Commissioner cannot revise an assessment under Section 263 merely because the assessment order does not explicitly reflect an inquiry, or because the Commissioner holds a different opinion. An inquiry, even if considered inadequate, or an assessment based on a plausible view by the Assessing Officer after due examination, does not automatically make the order erroneous or prejudicial to the interests of the revenue.

…s of facts arrived at by the Tribunal do not warrant interference of this court. That being the position, the present case would not be one of "lack of inquiry" and, even if the inquiry was termed inadequate, following the decision in Sunbeam Auto Ltd. (2011) 332 ITR 167 (Delhi) (page 180) : "that would not by itself give occasion to the Commissioner to pass orders under section 263 of the Act, merely because he has a different opinion in the matter." No substantial question of law arises for our consideration.” 24. In Ashish Rajpal as well, this Court was of the view that the fact that a query was raised during…

…Act. 6.4. The PCIT suggested that the inquiry conducted by the AO was inadequate, especially with respect to verifying the buyers' identities or conducting forensic analysis of sales records. However, judicial precedents, such as, CIT vs. Sunbeam Auto Ltd. (332 ITR 167) [Delhi HC] and CIT vs. Anil Kumar Sharma (335 ITR 83) [Delhi HC] make it clear that "inadequate inquiry" does not amount to "no inquiry." As long as the AO has applied his mind to the facts, even if the inquiry is not exhaustive, the order cannot be revised. The AO’s inquiry in this case was reasonable and sufficient, and the PCIT cannot challen…
