Issues: Whether a disallowance under section 40(a)(ia) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, based on alleged non-deduction of tax at source on interest payments, could be sustained by way of rectification under section 154 of the Income-tax Act, 1961.
Analysis: The assessment had already been completed under section 143(3) of the Income-tax Act, 1961. The disputed disallowance involved a debatable question requiring detailed enquiry and could not be characterised as a mistake apparent from the record. Such a controversy was beyond the limited scope of rectification jurisdiction under section 154.
Conclusion: The rectification was not sustainable and the disallowance could not be upheld in section 154 proceedings. The issue was decided in favour of the assessee and against the Revenue.
