Issues:
1. Revision under section 263 - Error in allowing carry forward of long-term capital loss.

Analysis:
The judgment by the Appellate Tribunal ITAT Kolkata involved a case where the assessee, a Company, filed an appeal against the order of the Principal Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) under section 263 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The issue revolved around the carry forward of long-term capital loss disallowed by the Assessing Officer. The Principal CIT found an error in the assessment order, where the entire long-term capital loss claimed by the assessee was allowed to be carried forward for future years, contrary to the actual disallowed amount. The Principal CIT issued a notice under section 263, requiring the assessee to show cause as to why the order should not be revised. The assessee contended that the matter was already under appeal and could not be reconsidered under section 263. The Principal CIT, however, held that the assessment order was erroneous and prejudicial to the revenue's interest, setting it aside for revision.

Upon appeal to the Tribunal, the assessee argued that the Assessing Officer did not allow the carry forward of the entire long-term capital loss as claimed, as alleged by the Principal CIT. The Tribunal examined the assessment order and related documents, finding that the Assessing Officer had indeed disallowed a portion of the long-term capital loss and did not allow the remaining amount to be carried forward. The Tribunal noted that the application for rectification filed by the assessee remained pending, indicating the mistake in the assessment. The Tribunal concluded that there was no error in the original assessment order, as claimed by the Principal CIT, and set aside the revision under section 263.

In the final judgment, the Tribunal allowed the appeal of the assessee, emphasizing that the original assessment order was not erroneous or prejudicial to the revenue's interest. The Tribunal's decision highlighted the discrepancies in the carry forward of the long-term capital loss and the pending rectification application, leading to the setting aside of the revision under section 263.
