Meeting and conference expenses were partially allowed for foreign delegations, with a directive to allocate weighted deduction at 50% of the total claim for both years. 5. CIT allocated and allowed partial deductions on items like office rent, staff salaries, and director's remuneration based on purchase and sales activities, following the Special Bench decision in M/s J.H. & Co. 6. Allocation of expenses for deduction under s. 35-B was adjusted to 90% of 50% of total expenses for specified items, while allocations for postage, telegrams, and printing were deemed fair and confirmed. 7. Addition of director's travelling expenses was not pressed, leaving no other grounds for consideration in the appeals. 8. Disallowance of certain delegation expenses was challenged but upheld based on the self-contained provision of s. 35-B and Special Bench decisions. 9. Expenses on foreign buyers were considered in line with the Special Bench decision in M/S. J.H. & Co., leading to confirmation of CIT (A) orders on this point. 10.
