Parties Involved

Facts Summary

For the Assessment Year 2005-06, the assessee filed its return of income declaring total income at 'Nil' on 30.08.2005. The assessee, a Cooperative Society doing banking business, claimed earlier year's carry forward business loss and current year's loss. The Assessing Officer (AO) framed the assessment under Section 143(3) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, after detailed hearings and verification of evidences. The Commissioner of Income Tax (CIT) issued a show cause notice, alleging that the AO failed to examine the issue of set off of losses properly. The assessee appealed against the revision order passed by the CIT under Section 263 of the Act. The Tribunal heard the appeal and found that the CIT failed to point out how the AO's assessment order was erroneous or prejudicial to the interest of the Revenue.…
