05 April 2012 First of all the assessee has made a ,mistake by filing a belated return.

Then he made a mistake by filing an incorrect return.

Further please understand that rectification is allowed for mistakes apparent from record.
If the assessee has failed to claim a deduction, the same is NOT mistake apparent from record.

Claiming additional deduction in a rectification application amounts to FRESH CLAIM which is NOT permitted under Section 154.

So, the AO is correct in dismissing the rectification application. He is bound by the provisions of Section 154.

Assessee has appealed against which order? Order of AO rejecting the rectification application? It is useless. The stand taken by the assessee is not valid.
