Rectification u/s 154 - Looking to the finding of the AO that no certificate by the Tax Auditor was furnished to state true and correct fact, in our considered view, the AO himself ought to have made inquiry from the Tax Auditor of the assessee. Undisputedly, it is the Assessing Officer who wanted to amend the concluded assessment. Therefore, he was required to verify the facts by making requisite inquiry.
