    <title>Tax Revision Upheld: AO&#039;s Failure to Verify Agricultural Land Rights Makes Assessment Erroneous Under Section 263 (1)</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=86415</link>
    <description>The ITAT upheld revision proceedings under section 263 against the assessee who claimed agricultural income exemption under section 10(1). Despite limited scrutiny focused on &quot;larger agricultural income,&quot; the AO failed to verify the assessee&#039;s title or leasehold rights on the agricultural land. The Tribunal rejected the assessee&#039;s arguments that the PCIT should have conducted inquiries himself before terming the assessment erroneous, noting that the PCIT had clearly established a case of &quot;no enquiry&quot; by the AO. The ITAT found that both conditions-erroneous assessment and prejudice to Revenue&#039;s interests-were satisfied per Malabar Industries Ltd. The revision jurisdiction was properly exercised, and the appeal was decided against the assessee.</description>
