Sushma Bansal, Alwar vs Department Of Income Tax
- CitationITA No.445/JP/13)
Ratio decidendi
The rule this decision rests on
The Tribunal has jurisdiction to entertain a miscellaneous application seeking rectification of its own order only where the alleged error is an apparent mistake on the face of the record; a contention that the assessee misled the Tribunal as to the factual position does not, without more, establish such an apparent mistake. Where the record shows that the relevant material was furnished to and considered by the Assessing Officer, a Tribunal finding that the assessment order need not be revised on that issue is not an apparent mistake, and the application for rectification is to be dismissed.

PER T.R.MEENA, AM:-
The revenue as filed M.A. against the ITAT order in ITA No.445/JP/13 for
A.Y.2008-09 order dated 26.02.2014 on 10.06.2014 stating as under :-
"5. That the appeal so filed by the assessee was decided by Hon'ble ITAT, Jaipur Bench, Jaipur in favour of the appellant vide ITA No.445/JP/2013 dated 26.02.2014. Hon'ble ITAT has allowed the assessee appeal on the ground that the assessee has furnished ,e-,-la-14@tsih@14&Jherh lq"kek caly] Hkjriqj A

the require details regarding freight expenses during the course of assessment proceedings before the AO wherein bill no., date of payment, vehicle no. and amount has been mentioned. The assessment order passed by the AO could not be subject to revision u/s 263 of the Act, on the issue, on which the AO had applied his mind and accepted the claim after proper verification.
6. That in Para 8 of the order it has been observed by the Hon'ble ITAT that "The details furnished by the assessee before the Assessing Officer are placed at page Nos. 5 to 15 of the assessee's paper book, wherein bill no. date of payment, vehicle no. and the amount has been mentioned."
Whereas, as per the facts of the case, it is submitted that the assessee has not furnished the requisite details i.e. party wise details of freight payment, name of the persons/parties and complete address to whom payment of freight was made and their confirmations and truck number etc, which were required for verification/examination and further ascertaining the party-wise freight payment and liability in view of the provisions of section 40(a)(ia) of the I.T.Act, 1961, before the AO in the course of assessment proceedings. Whereas, in contrary thereto, the A/R has wrongly claimed before the Hon'ble ITAT to have the details submitted and got the books of accounts verified by the AO.
Thus, it appears that the A/R of the assessee has misled the facts and wrongly submitted submitted before the Hon'ble ITAT that the assessee has filed details of bill no., date of payment, vehicle no. and amount before the completion of assessment on 15.12.2010, whereas it was filed on 05.12.2011 (Copy enclosed) after the completion of the assessment u/s 143(3) on 15.10.2010.
7. That as per the facts of the case, as submitted above, an error has crept in the order of Hon'ble ITAT in Para 8, where it has been held that "the assessment order passed by the AO could not be subject to revision under section 263 of the Act, on the issue, on which, the Assessing Officer had applied his mind and accepted the claim after proper verification."

2. The Ld. CIT, Alwar requested therefore it is a apparent mistake in the order
of the Hon'ble ITAT.
3. The Ld.A.R. Sh.Rajendra Agarwal, C.A. argued that details mentioned by
the Hon'ble ITAT at page 4 in paragraph no. 4 that the assessee has filed the detail
of bill & voucher in request to the freight expenses of Rs.68,98,630/- during the
course of hearing before the AO vide letter dated 15.10.2010 which has been
considered by the A.O. & Hon'ble ITAT as considered these evidences at the time
of delivering the decision in case of assessee on set-asiding the order of the
Ld.CIT, Alwar u/s 263 of the IT Act. Therefore there is no apparent mistake to
rectify the Hon'ble ITAT's order dated 26.02.2014 in case of assessee. Thus he
requested to dismiss the M.A. petition of revenue.
4. We have heard the rival submission of both the parties and perused the
material available on record. We find favour of the assessee on this issue that
assessee had furnished the details of freight expenses before the A.O. Therefore
there is no apparent mistake in the order of this Bench at 26.02.2014 for A.Y.
2008-09.
