The matter was remanded back to the ld. AO for further verification and consideration. In conclusion, the ITAT allowed the appeal of the assessee for statistical purposes, setting aside the decision of the ld. CIT(A) and remanding the matter back to the ld. AO for re-computation in accordance with the observations made during the proceedings.
