| Decision |
The Kerala High Court upheld the jurisdiction of the Commissioner of Income-tax to revise the order of the Income-tax Officer under section 263 of the Income-tax Act. The court found that the assessment order was erroneous and prejudicial to the interests of the Revenue on several grounds, including the erroneous carry forward of development rebate and the improper allowance of deductions under sections 80J and 40A(7). The tribunal's dismissal of the assessee's appeal was affirmed, confirming that the assessment year 1975-76 was relevant for considering claims related to the assessment year 1967-68. The court concluded that the assessee was not entitled to the deductions claimed for the assessment year 1976-77. |
