Issues involved: Appeal against common order passed by Commissioner of Income-tax (A) for assessment years 2004-05, 2005-06, 2006-07, 2007-08 & 2009-10.
Disallowance of expenditure on estimate basis: The taxpayer appealed against the disallowance of expenditure on an estimate basis. The taxpayer argued that despite not having vouchers for small payments of commission as brokerage, the expenses should be allowed as they were incurred for conducting business. The assessing officer initially disallowed 40% of the expenses, which was later restricted to 5% by the Commissioner (Appeals). The Tribunal upheld the Commissioner's decision, stating that in the absence of vouchers and bills, the 5% disallowance was fair considering the nature of the business. The taxpayer's grievance was deemed unwarranted, and the Commissioner's order was confirmed. Addition of amount credited in Welcare Hospital's account: For the assessment year 2009-10, the taxpayer contested the addition of Rs. 1,24,095 credited in Welcare Hospital's account. The taxpayer claimed that these credits were payments received in cash for supplying electrical goods, which were daily credited to the hospital's account. However, Welcare Hospital did not account for these payments. Despite the taxpayer's arguments, the Tribunal found that no confirmation or documentation was provided for the cash receipts, and the accounts were not reconciled before the authorities. As a result, the addition made by the lower authority was upheld by the Tribunal, stating that there was no evidence to support the taxpayer's claims. Consequently, the appeals filed by the taxpayer were dismissed, and the lower authority's order was confirmed.
