....ply: Yes, in the facts stated, 'A' - Charitable Trust may prefer a Revision Application under Section 264 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 before the Principal Commissioner of Income Tax (Pr. CIT) against the Intimation under Section 143(1) for AY 2014-15, especially in light of the following considerations: Legal Position & Justification * Section 264 - Revision by the Principal Commissioner: * Under Section 264(1), the Principal CIT has the power, either on an application by the assessee or suo motu, to revise any order other than an order to which Section 263 applies, including an intimation under Section 143(1), provided the order is prejudicial to the assessee. * The assessee may file such application within one year from the date o....

....n which the order in question is communicated to them. * Limitation - Start from Date of Communication: * In your case, the Intimation u/s 143(1) was dated 16.01.2016, but was never communicated earlier. * As per the settled principle laid down in judicial precedents, limitation under Section 264 shall begin from the date of actual communication to the assessee. * Since the intimation was received via email only on 22.06.2024, the application under Section 264 is within the limitation period (one year from the date of communication). * Grounds for Revision: * The disallowance of deduction under Section 11(2) appears to have been made without granting an opportunity or may be due to clerical or processing error. * Being a Chari....

....table Trust, such deduction, if properly claimed and supported, is allowable under law. If the necessary Form 10 or other compliance was furnished or available, and inadvertently not considered, it is a valid ground for seeking revision. Recommendation * Yes, 'A' Charitable Trust may file a Revision Petition u/s 264 before the Jurisdictional Principal Commissioner of Income Tax, requesting to: * Consider the allowability of deduction under Section 11(2), * Revise the total income computed as per Intimation under Section 143(1), * Rectify the demand raised as a result of the disallowance. * Ensure the application: * Is filed within 1 year from 22.06.2024, * Is accompanied by a copy of the Intimation, necessary evidence like Fo....

....rm 10, proof of filing return, and a detailed submission explaining the circumstances. Alternative Remedy (only if applicable): If the disallowance is purely due to a clerical mistake or error apparent on the face of record, and Form 10 was already filed, a Rectification application under Section 154 may also be considered. However, since the limitation for Section 154 may have lapsed (4 years from end of FY 2015-16), Section 264 is the more viable and legally tenable route. If needed, I can assist you with drafting the Section 264 application as per statutory format.

Legal Grounds for Filing the Revision Application * Jurisdiction under Section 264: The applicant submits that this revision application is maintainable under Section 264 of the Act, as there is no appeal pending or filed against the impugned intimation. * Communication is a Condition Precedent: It is well settled that mere generation of intimation is not sufficient.

Hence, the limitation for filing the revision application should be reckoned from the date of receipt of the intimation. * Section 264(3) empowers the Pr.
