2022 (10) TMI 533 - AT - Income Tax


Issues:
1. Disallowance of expenditure under section 40(a)(ia) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 for non-deduction of tax at source.
2. Addition under section 41(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 for the difference in balance as per the assessee and balance as per confirmation by parties.
3. Addition of unsecured loan received by the assessee.
4. Addition under section 41(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 in respect of various sundry creditors.

Issue 1: Disallowance of Expenditure under Section 40(a)(ia):
The Assessing Officer disallowed an expenditure of Rs. 19,63,146 for non-deduction of tax at source. The appellant claimed that the tax was deposited before the extended due date of filing the return. The CIT(A) upheld the disallowance, stating that if tax is deducted in a subsequent year, the expenditure will be allowed in that year. The ITAT upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, ruling against the assessee.

Issue 2: Addition under Section 41(1) for Difference in Balances:
The AO added Rs. 30,28,996 under Section 41(1) due to a difference in balances with a creditor. The CIT(A) confirmed this addition, citing lack of evidence from the assessee. However, the ITAT found that the CIT(A) failed to consider relevant evidence submitted by the assessee and directed the issue to be reconsidered by the AO.

Issue 3: Addition of Unsecured Loan Received:
The AO added an unsecured loan of Rs. 30,00,000 received by the assessee, which was later deleted by the CIT(A) based on documentary evidence provided. The ITAT upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, noting that the loan was repaid in the subsequent financial year.

Issue 4: Addition under Section 41(1) for Various Sundry Creditors:
The AO added Rs. 1,52,47,641 under Section 41(1) regarding sundry creditors. The CIT(A) deleted this addition after considering evidence submitted by the assessee. The ITAT upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, emphasizing that relevant information submitted by the assessee was not considered by the AO.

In conclusion, the ITAT dismissed the revenue's appeal and partially allowed the assessee's appeal, directing the AO to take consequential actions based on the findings related to the second issue. The judgment was pronounced on 29th September 2022.
