2013 (11) TMI 134 - AT - Income Tax


Issues:
1. Disallowance of delay in payment of E.P.F.
2. Disallowance under section 40(a)(ia).

Analysis:

Issue 1: Disallowance of delay in payment of E.P.F.
The assessee challenged the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)'s order regarding the disallowance of Rs.55,462 for delay in payment of E.P.F. The Tribunal noted that the disallowance was based on a decision of the Hon'ble Bombay High Court, which had been subsequently reversed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in another case. Therefore, the Tribunal decided to remit the matter back to the Assessing Officer for fresh consideration in light of the Supreme Court's decision. Consequently, Ground No. 1 was allowed for statistical purposes.

Issue 2: Disallowance under section 40(a)(ia)
The assessee also contested the disallowance of Rs.42,26,099 under section 40(a)(ia), which included an amount payable as on a specific date. The Departmental Representative acknowledged that this issue was covered by a Special Bench decision of the Tribunal in a different case. It was agreed that the matter should be sent back to the Assessing Officer for a fresh adjudication based on the Tribunal's decision after verifying the facts. Therefore, Ground No. 2 was also allowed for statistical purposes.

In conclusion, the appeal filed by the assessee was allowed for statistical purposes on both issues, and the matters were remitted back to the Assessing Officer for fresh adjudication in accordance with the relevant legal decisions.
