Revision under Section 263 failed because the Assessing Officer conducted a prima facie inquiry, considered documentary evidence and followed the binding CBDT Instruction treating transfers of unlisted shares as capital gains; the revisional order was therefore neither erroneous nor prejudicial to revenue.
