The assessment was framed by the Income Tax Officer, Ward-1, Krishnagiri, for the AY 2016-17, u/s.143(3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (hereinafter ‘the Act’) vide order dated 21.12.2018. आयकर अपीलीय अिधकरण, ’सी’ यायपीठ, चे ई। IN THE INCOME TAX APPELLATE TRIBUNAL ‘C’ BENCH: CHENNAI ी महावीर िसंह, माननीय उपा , एवं ीजी. मंजूनाथा, , माननीय लेखा सद के सम BEFORE SHRI MAHAVIR SINGH, HON’BLE VICE PRESIDENT AND SHRI G. MANJUNATHA, HON’BLE ACCOUNTANT MEMBER ITA No.154/Chny/2021 M/s.Amudha Aseptic Food Products :: 2 :: 2. The first issue in this appeal of the assessee is as regards to the order of the PCIT, the revision order u/s.263 of the Act, is that the assessment order framed u/s.143(3) of the Act, dated 21.12.2018, the original assessment order is neither erroneous nor prejudicial to the interest of the Revenue for the reason that the assessee has accounted for the machinery properly, has paid advance of Rs.31,25,445/- and balance figure of Rs.1,06,05,755/- appears in Sundry Creditors. 3. We have heard rival contentions and gone through the facts and circumstances of the case. We noted that the PCIT in its revision order noted that there is a discrepancy in purchase of machinery from M/s.Divine Agri Pvt. Ltd., Singapore, as the assessee has not accounted machinery properly in its books of accounts, the PCIT noted that the assessee company has purchased the above mentioned machinery for an amount of Rs.1,37,31,200/- on credit but disclosed outstanding of Rs.1,06,05,755/-. According to the PCIT, AO failed to verify the purchase of machinery and consequently liability arising to the above sundry creditors at the time of passing of assessment order and accordingly, invoked the Explanation-2 to Sec.263 of the Act. He directed the AO to verify the purchase of machinery and accounting of the same in its books of accounts. Before us, the ld.Counsel for the assessee stated that consequential order u/s.143(3) r.w.s.263 of the Act, with sec.144B of the Act, dated 30.03.2022, is passed and the AO in that order has only directed to disallow depreciation on machinery to 15% on the amount ITA No.154/Chny/2021 M/s.Amudha Aseptic Food Products :: 3 :: advance of Rs.31.50 lakhs which comes to Rs.4.72 lakhs as against excess claim of depreciation made by the assessee of Rs.15,87,180/-. Therefore, the original assessment order passed by the AO has become erroneous and prejudicial to the interest of the Revenue. We noted that the accounting of the advance paid Rs.31,25,445/- to M/s.Divine Agri Pvt. Ltd., Singapore, and the credit balance of Rs.1,06,05,755/- is also properly accounted in its account, but in which the depreciation claimed by the assessee is excess which has rightly considered by the AO while giving effect to the order to the revision order. Hence, we uphold the order of the PCIT i.e. the revision order on this issue. 4. Coming to the second issue on revision order in regard to accounting of closing stock, the ld.Counsel for the assessee pointed out that the AO while giving effect to the revision order u/s.143(3) r.w.s.263 of the Act, accepted the claim of the assessee as correct and hence, this ground has become infructuous. Hence, no need to adjudicate this ground. The revision order is sustained and the appeal filed by the assessee is partly allowed. 5. In the result, the appeal filed by the assessee is partly allowed. Order pronounced on the 28 th day of October, 2022, in Chennai. Sd/- (जी. मंजूनाथा) (G.
