ITAT allowed the appeal and set aside the s.263 revision order of the PCIT. The Tribunal held that Explanation 2 to s.263(1) was invoked by the PCIT in the final order without being specified in the show-cause notice or affording the assessee an opportunity to meet that specific contention, thereby violating principles of natural justice. In consequence, the invocation of Explanation 2 was unsustainable and rendered the revision order prejudicial and void. The s.263 order was quashed and the grounds of the assessee upheld, restoring the original reassessment outcome.
