Revisionary review under section 263 was considered on whether the AO failed to inquire into the source of share capital and whether acceptance of a merchant banker valuation was erroneous. The tribunal found the AO had the investor's balance sheet before him, accepted the investor's creditworthiness, and that mere suspicion or association with a group did not amount to lack of inquiry. Inquiry into the source-of-source was not required, and the AO properly accepted a DCF valuation by a qualified merchant banker; revisionary interference was unwarranted and decision favoured the assessee.
