Section 263 IT Act | Revisionary Order Without Verification of Expenditure Claim Violates Natural Justice : ITAT Bangalore
ITAT Bangalore ruled that a revisionary order under Section 263 of the Income Tax Act is invalid if the Principal Commissioner fails to verify the existence of an expenditure claim before setting aside an assessment. The tribunal emphasized that such orders violate principles of natural justice and cannot be sustained without establishing a nexus between the assessee and alleged payees. This ruling reinforces the need for thorough inquiry before invoking revisionary jurisdiction.
