....by the assessee before the AO during the course of assessment proceedings indicated that the assessee has netted the receipts against the expenses and only the net figures are shown in Form 3CD as covered u/s 40A(2)(b) and for specified domestic transaction in Form 3CEB which is an incorrect disclosure in the said reports. It is further argued by him that the AO should have obtained and verified reconciliation regarding discrepancies in various figures mentioned in the impugned order passed by the Pr. CIT. The Ld. DR finally submits that the Pr. CIT has set aside the case to the AO to make necessary inquiry and verifications and then pass a fresh order as per the provisions of the Act, after affording reasonable opportunity of being heard to the assessee before finalizing the assessment order. Thus it is stated that no prejudice is caused to the assessee. 6. We have heard the rival submissions and perused the relevant material on record. The reasons for our decision are given below. We find that the order was passed by the Hon'ble Bombay High Court for demerger on 14.11.2014 and appointed date was fixed as 01.01.2014. Accordingly, the income and expenses of pharma division of Ja....

The SLP filed by the Revenue against the above order has since been dismissed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court as reported in (2017) 77 taxmann.com 78 (SC). In the case of Moil India Limited (supra), it is held that the Assessing Officer is not expected to raise more queries if he was satisfied about admissibility of claim on the basis of materials and details supplied and therefore, the order is not erroneous or prejudicial to the Revenue. In view of the above factual matrix and position of law, we cancel the order u/s 263 passed by the Pr. CIT. 7. However, before we part with the matter, we must deal with one procedural issue as well. While hearing of these appeals was concluded on 03.01.2020, this order thereon is being pronounced today, much after the expiry of 90 days from the date of conclusion of hearing. We are also alive to the fact that rule 34(5) of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal Rules 1963, which ....
