Issues involved: Assessment u/s 143(3) for AY 2006-07 - Disallowance u/s 36(1)(va) - Disallowance u/s 40(a)(ia) - Proportionate disallowance of interest expenses.
Disallowance u/s 36(1)(va): The AO disallowed PF and ESI payments made belatedly. The CIT(A) upheld the disallowance as the AR failed to justify the belated payments. The ITAT remitted the issue to verify actual payment dates based on legal precedents. Disallowance u/s 40(a)(ia): The AO disallowed professional fee deduction for non-deduction of tax. The CIT(A) confirmed the disallowance due to lack of justification. The ITAT remitted the issue for verification of details by the AO. Proportionate disallowance of interest expenses: The AO disallowed interest on investments in shares to earn tax-exempt dividend income. The CIT(A) upheld the disallowance citing lack of business expediency. The ITAT set aside the CIT(A) order based on a similar case, directing the AO to decide in light of the precedent. In conclusion, the ITAT allowed the appeal for statistical purposes, remitting all issues back to the AO for further examination and decision.
