20 November 2010 Dear linesh

Under section 245R, certain restrictions have been imposed on the admissibility of an application, if the question concerned is pending before other authorities. According to it, the authority shall not allow an application where the question raised by the non-resident applicant (or a resident applicant having transaction with a non-resident) is already pending before any income-tax authority or appellate Tribunal or any court of law.

Hence as per section 245 R the application cant be sought for advance ruiling if the question is already pending with any Income tax authority.

As Per Section 116 of IT Act Assessing Officer is a tax authority hence the the applicant cant made application for the matter already pending with AO

Best Regards
