Bot Summary: | The assessee is a firm engaged in the business of manufacturing textiles. The assessee firm filed its return of income tax for the A.Y. 2005 06 showing total income of Rs.2,20,907/ The case was selected for scrutiny and thereafter, assessment was framed u/s.143(3) vide order dated 28.12.2007 and the total income was determined at Rs.1,42,54,030/. Against the said order, the assessee filed appeal before the Appellate Tribunal. The Appellate Tribunal partly allowed the appeal whereby, the addition was ordered to be made at Rs.20.00 Lacs in the trading result of the assessee. From the record, it appears that for the year under consideration, the assessee had taken the machineries and other facilities of the sister concern on rent, which was not the case for the immediate preceding year. In our opinion, the Appellate Tribunal was justified in not considering all the expenses for disallowance u/s.40(a)(ia) on the basis of presumption only as there was no material on record to suggest that the change in the policy of the assessee in taking machines and other facilities of sister concern on rent was fictitious. Further, if the entire expenses are disallowed as per the claim of the assessee, then the Gross Profit ratio would work out to more than 35, as against the Gross Profit of 2.91 shown by the Page 2 of 3 O/TAXAP/1159/2014 ORDER assessee, which is unrealistic. |
