ORDER--Order passed by ITO on the basis of directions of IAC under s. 144B.Held :Under s. 143, the power of assessment is vested in the ITO. An order passed by the ITO under s. 143(3), continues to be an order under that section though passed after following the mandatory procedure laid down in s. 144B. Therefore, an order passed by the ITO under s. 143(3) read with s. 144B, of the Act is an order made by the ITO which is subject to revisional jurisdiction of the CIT under s. 263. Sec. 144B, though inserted as an independent section, in truth and substance, is in the nature of proviso to s. 143(3). Conclusion :Order of ITO under directions of AAC under s. 144B is actually an order passed by ITO and not IAC, therefore, it is revisable by the CIT. Application :Not to current assessment years.Citation :Income Tax Act 1961 s.263Income Tax Act 1961 s.144B...
