If the mistake is obvious or inadvertent on the part of the assessee in reporting incorrect income in the return of income , the AO has to pass the rectification order . The matter was remanded to the AO to find out correct facts and pass the order accordingly . ( ITA No. 12 & 13  /VNS / 2022  dt . 4 -8 -2022 ) ( AY. 2013 -14 , 2014-15 )
