Issues:
1. Deletion of addition despite differences in account copies. 2. Addition on account of differences in accounts with another party. 3. Disallowance of interest paid without TDS deduction. Issue 1: Deletion of Addition Despite Differences in Account Copies: The appeal by revenue challenged the CIT(A)'s order deleting an addition due to discrepancies in the account of Hindusthan Syringes & Medical Devices Ltd. (HSMDL) with that of the assessee. The AO noted a difference in balances with suppliers, questioning the authenticity of a purchase entry. The CIT(A) deleted the addition, emphasizing reconciliation efforts by HSMDL. The ITAT upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, citing the filed reconciliation and explained purchase entry, dismissing the revenue's appeal on this issue. Issue 2: Addition on Account of Differences in Accounts with Another Party: The revenue contested the CIT(A)'s deletion of an addition concerning differences in the assessee's accounts and Royal Surgical Pvt. Ltd.'s accounts. The AO treated a purchase from Royal Surgical Pvt. Ltd. as bogus due to lack of confirmation and evidence. The CIT(A) overturned this addition, noting compliance with the AO's requests and finding no discrepancy in accounts. The ITAT affirmed the CIT(A)'s decision, upholding the deletion of the addition and dismissing the revenue's appeal on this issue. Issue 3: Disallowance of Interest Paid Without TDS Deduction: The revenue objected to the CIT(A)'s deletion of the disallowance of interest paid without TDS deduction. The assessee received Form No. 15G from parties for non-deduction of TDS on interest payments, which were filed with the CIT. The CIT(A) ruled in favor of the assessee, citing relevant case law and allowing the interest expenses. The ITAT upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, stating that no disallowance could be made under section 40(a)(ia) if Form No. 15G was received, even if not submitted to the tax authorities. Consequently, the revenue's appeal on this issue was dismissed. In conclusion, the ITAT upheld the CIT(A)'s decisions on all issues raised by the revenue, resulting in the dismissal of the appeal.
