On August 26, a provisional return, as it is called, was made and an order followed on that basis under Section 18 of the Agricultural Income-tax Act on September 6, 1974. Another return containing, as we are told, correct particulars was filed on October 29, 1974, accompanied by a request for a revised order of assessment, also of a provisional character.

He said, after referring to his order under Section 18(1) and (6), that a provisional tax had been assessed on the basis of the return made in the first instance and that it could not be altered or adju...
