Revision under section 263 was denied because the assessing officer adopted a legally permissible view in treating a 5.24% difference between stamp duty value and sale consideration as non-taxable; such a view is not "erroneous and prejudicial to the interests of revenue" and therefore cannot be reopened as a change of opinion.
