Bot Summary: Pvt. Ltd., Udaipur DATE OF ORDER : 27.4.2015 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR HON'BLE MISS JUSTICE JAISHREE THAKUR Mr. KK Bissa, for the appellant So far as the question no.1 and 2 proposed by the Revenue are concerned, those have already been adjudicated by this Court in Commissioner of Income Tax, Udaipur Vs. Harish Chand Ahuja, decided on 26.11.2014, as such, we don't find any just reason to re-examine the same in the instant appeal. With regard to the proposed question no.3, suffice to mention that the Commissioner of Income Tax after appreciating the entire material available on record, held as under :- I have considered the submissions of the appellant as well as the findings of the A.O. Given in the assessment order. It is an undisputed fact that during the year the contract receipts have been substantially increased in comparison to the immediately preceding year which means the site of work of the appellant has spread over to other site also and therefore the site expenditures are bound to be higher than that of last year and the A.O. Has not denied this fact in the assessment order. Further the expenditure at site depend upon the various factors like, availability of materials to be used in the site, expenses on transportation of materials to the site side, availability of labours, increase in the cost of materials, diesel etc. It is also not a case of the A.O. That the auditors have made adverse comments on the site expenditure claimed and the A.O. Has noticed some serious defects in maintaining the books of account except that the expenditure claimed under the head site expenses is not commensurating with the gross contract receipts. This is not a sufficient reasons for making such substantial disallowance out of particular head. Further, from the assessment order, it appears that the A.O. Has not called for any explanation for the increase in the site expenses. The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal while accepting the appreciation of evidence made by the Commissioner of Income Tax also considered it appropriate to allow sustained addition of Rs.7 lacs as site expenses.
