CBDT circulars are binding on tax authorities, but a circular cannot be used to prejudice the assessee where the Assessing Officer has adopted one legally possible view after detailed enquiry. The Tribunal found no lack of enquiry in a section 263 case, noted that the revision was triggered by an audit objection and not independent application of mind, and held that the dispute was only a timing difference with no prejudice to Revenue. It also held that concessionaire rights to construct, operate, maintain and collect toll under a concession agreement are licence-type business or commercial rights, or similar intangible assets, eligible for depreciation under section 32(1)(ii), including on opening written down value.
