Russell Properties (P.) Ltd. v. A. Chowdhury, Addl. CIT
What is Russell Properties (P.) Ltd. v. A. Chowdhury, Addl. CIT authority for?
The power of revision under Section 263 is not arbitrary and cannot be exercised merely because the Assessing Officer adopted one of the permissible courses in law, even if it leads to a loss of revenue. An assessment order is not erroneous and prejudicial to the revenue if the Assessing Officer has taken a plausible view or conducted an inquiry, as the revisional power has limitations and cannot be used for fresh enquiries into concluded matters.
judgments rely on this decision, according to BharatTax’s citation analysis of 292,668 Indian tax judgments — from 2015 to 2025.
