Mandatory verification procedure governs rejection of country-of-origin certificates before denying preferential customs exemption and related penalti...
ITAT upheld the PCIT's revisionary order u/s 263, rejecting the assessee's contentions. The Tribunal found no illegality in the revision proceedings, noting that the AO failed to properly apply mandatory provisions of section 115BBE for additions u/s 68 and erroneously initiated penalty proceedings u/s 271(1)(c) instead of 271AAC. The Tribunal determined that the PCIT was justified in exercising revisionary powers since the issues raised were not pending before the First Appellate Authority and materially impacted revenue interests. The assessee's appeal challenging the revisionary order was consequently dismissed, affirming the PCIT's order as legally sound and procedurally correct.
