INCOME TAX ACT, 1961

Section 263

Issue was squarely covered by decision of the Tribunal rendered in case of Swastik Coal Corporation Pvt. Ltd. v. Pr. CIT ((2019) 35 ITJ 489 (Ind) : 2019 TaxPub(DT) 5019 (Ind-Trib), therefore, the order was revised purely on the basis that AO had not referred issue to TPO to determine ALP. Since provision itself stood omitted at the time when order was passed by PCIT, order could not be sustained. Therefore, order was quashed.
