Issues: Whether revision under section 263 was justified on the ground that the Assessing Officer had not made proper enquiry and verification on the cash loans, project income, unsecured loans, expenses, liability, penalty-related aspects and the CASS-related issue, despite the assessment records showing notices, replies and approval in the assessment proceedings.
Analysis: The revisional power under section 263 can be exercised only when the assessment order is both erroneous and prejudicial to the interests of the Revenue. A mere difference of opinion, or a preference for deeper enquiry, is not enough where the Assessing Officer has called for details, examined the material, considered the assessee's explanations and adopted one of the legally permissible views. The record showed that questionnaires were issued, replies and supporting details were furnished, and the assessment was framed after consideration of the material and with the requisite approval. The revisional authority did not identify any specific unsustainable view taken by the Assessing Officer, nor establish that the assessments were made without enquiry. The grounds relating to non-initiation of penalty could not by themselves sustain revision, and the CASS-related objection was not relevant to the assessment year where the case arose from search and survey proceedings. On the facts, the revisional order amounted to substituting the Commissioner's view for a possible view already taken in assessment.
Conclusion: The revision under section 263 was not justified and the assessment orders could not be disturbed on the grounds recorded by the revisional authority.
Final Conclusion: The revisional orders were quashed, resulting in relief to the assessee in the substantive challenge, while the ancillary ground treated as not pressed remained dismissed.
Ratio Decidendi: Section 263 cannot be invoked where the Assessing Officer has made enquiries, applied his mind and adopted a possible view, unless the revisional authority demonstrates a specific error causing prejudice to the Revenue.
