It appears that the AO could not appreciate the claim of the assessee in the light ofmethodof accounting followed by the assessee perspective and disallowed the claim of the assessee on the ground that the provision made by the assessee represented unascertained liability which was not allowable as deduction in the case of the assessee following mercantile system of Recounting. In our opinion, the Ld. CIT(A) appreciated the claim made by the assessee in the right perspective and rightly allowed the same after taking into consideration, themethodof accounting followed by the assessee, in the light of relevant accounting standard as well as case laws relied upon by the assessee in support. We, therefore, find no infirmity in the impugned order of the Ld. CIT(A) giving relief to the assessee on this issue and upholding the same. We dismiss this appeal filed by the revenue."

Section 37(1) & 263 of the Income-tax Act, 1961—Business expenditure—For invoking powers conferred by  section 263,  the CIT should not only show that the AO's order is erroneous but CIT must also further show that as a result of an erroneous order, some loss is caused to the interest of the revenue Pr. CIT failed to make out a case that the order of AO is erroneous as well as prejudicial to the interest of the revenue, which was a condition precedent for invoking jurisdiction u/s 263 as AO had taken note of the issue of provision of Rs. 5.75 crores claimed by the assessee as deduction and has raised queries and the assessee has duly replied  and the AO has accepted the claim of the assessee and since the provision the assessee claimed is an ascertained liability, there was no question that AO could have disallowed the same neither in the normal computation nor while computing book profit u/s 115JB,  so the AO has discharged his duty as an investigator as well as an adjudicator and allowed the claim which is a plausible view, which cannot at any rate be called as an unsustainable view, therefore, the impugned order of Ld. Pr. CIT is without jurisdiction and null in eyes of law—  Khetawat Properties Ltd. vs. Pr. CIT[2020] 180 ITD 535 (KOL)
