62. Amendment of order of assessment etc

(1) Where as a result of any order passed in appeal, revision or review under this Act, any change becomes necessary, in the order of assessment, the appropriate appellate authority, or revising or reviewing authority may authorise the assessing authority to amend the order of assessment accordingly and on such amendment being made, any amount overpaid by the assessee shall be refunded to him without interest, or the further amount of tax, if any, due from him shall be collected in accordance with the provisions of this Act, as the case may be.

(2) Pending the exercise of the powers of appeal, revision or review, the appropriate appellate authority, or revising or reviewing authority may, on application made by the assessing authority, stay the refund to the assessee of any amount overpaid, in pursuance of the order which is the subject matter of appeal, revision or review.

(3) Pending the exercise of the powers of review, the reviewing authority may, on application made by the assessee, stay the collection of further amount of tax due from the assessee, in pursuance of the order which is the subject matter of review before the disposal of the review application, if the assessee furnishes sufficient security to its satisfaction, in such form and in such manner as may be prescribed.
