....ssee that the Learned PCIT erred in exercising jurisdiction under Section 263 of the Act. Accordingly, in our view, the order dated, 09/02/2024, passed by the Learned PCIT cannot be quashed as being without jurisdiction. 8. Having concluded as above, we find that before the Learned PCIT it was submitted on behalf of the Assessee that the Assessment Order cannot be regarded as erroneous in relation to 5 out of the 7 sale transactions under consideration were concerned since the provisions contained in Section 43CA of the Act were not applicable to the aforesaid 5 transactions for the reason that the difference between the sale consideration and the stamp duty value did not exceed the threshold of 10% specified in Proviso to Section 43CA o....

....T-7 (3), Mumbai [ITA Nos. 2266 And 2239/Mum/2022, dated 17/04/2022] in the context of Section 43CA of the Act. We note that the Proviso to Section 43CA of the Act inserted by way of Finance Act, 2018 along with Third Proviso to Section 50(1)(c) of the Act. Both the provisos provided for a tolerance band of 5% which was enhanced to 10% by way of Finance Act, 2021. In the case of Macrotech Developers Ltd. (supra) it was held by the Mumbai Bench of the Tribunal that the tolerance band of 10% contained in Proviso to Section 43CA of the Act in respect of the difference between the sale consideration and the stamp duty value, as amended by the Finance Act 2021, would apply retrospectively Gaurav Investments vs. Deputy Commissioner of Income-tax [....

....rned PCIT in invoking provisions contained in Section 263 of the Act as clearly the applicability of Section 43CA of the Act was required to be examined and the failure on the part of the Assessing Officer has resulted in passing of assessment order which was erroneous as aforesaid. We have already returned a finding that the actual sale agreements were neither requisitioned nor produced during the assessment proceedings. We also reject the contention of the Learned Authorised Representative of the Assessee that the applicability of Section 43CA of the Act is to be examined by aggregating all the transaction. The language of Section 43CA of the Act does not provide for such an approach or interpretation. 11. In view of the above, we hold....
