Revision of orders prejudicial to revenue empowers Competent Authority to revisit AO/TPO orders and direct fresh assessments.
The Competent Authority may call for and examine records of any proceeding and, if satisfied an AO or Transfer Pricing Officer's order is erroneous and prejudicial to revenue, may revise that order after giving the assessee an opportunity of being heard and making such inquiry as necessary; revision can enhance, modify, cancel or direct a fresh assessment, extends to AO/TPO functions and matters not decided in appeal, and is subject to a two-year limitation with specified exclusions and an exception to give effect to appellate findings.
