..... he facts and in the circumstance of the case and in law, the ld. CIT(A) has erred, in deleting the addition of Rs.1,10,125/-, made by the A.O. on account of rebate and discount, without appreciating the facts of the case." 3. The facts, in brief, are that in this case return for income for the assessment year 2005-06 declaring NIL income was filed on 24.10.2005. The assessee is engaged in the business of dying, finishing & printing work of Art Silk Grey Fabrics. The case was picked up for scrutiny and the assessment was framed u/s 143(3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (hereinafter referred to as the 'Act'). Thereby the Assessing Officer, after discussing the case and examining the details filed by the assessee, made additions on account of disallowance u/s 40(a)(ia) of the Act of Rs.2,64,101/-, addition of Rs.1,24,012/- on account of work in progress and purchases treated as bogus of Rs.5,55,415/-. The assessee, feeling aggrieved by the order of the Assessing Officer carried the matter before ld.

Further, it was observed by Hon'ble High Court that if any adjustment is required to be made by statute, the effect of same should be given irrespective of opening consequence for tax purpose. Section 145A of the Act begin with a non-obstante clause and therefore, to give effect to Section 145A of the Act, if there is a change in closing stock as on March, 31, 1999 there must necessarily be a corresponding adjustment made in the opening stock as on April, 1998. We find that Ld. CIT(A) while dealing with this issue observed as under:- "The assessee submitted the statement/work in process of opening stock as well as the closing stock. The A.O. did not consider the work in process of work in stock. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in its decision in the case of CIT Vs. British Paint India Ltd.

All these material shows that the assessee had shown aH the purchase bills while M/s. Agarwal Enterprise has not shown cash sales bills. M/s. Agarwal Enterprise has allowed rebate and discount amounting to Rs.1,10,125/- when one truck of lignite valuing to about Rs.20,000/- who will give rebate and discount of about 5 trucks. I have carefully considered both the positions. I do not think that any disallowance could be made from the cash purchase as bogus and nonverifiable. Regarding rebate and discount amounting to Rs.1,10,125/- the assessee states who will give such a huge amount as rebate and discount, but it is done for making adjustment of acc .....

However, after 01.10.2004, the law was amended to provide deduction of tax when aggregate value of contract exceeds Rs. 50,000/- in a financial year. On verification of the both these two accounts it is noticed that the assessee has made payment to the following parties which is liable for deduction of tax u/s 194C of the I.T Act but still not deducted and paid to Govt. account, as per Sec. 22(1) of the I.T.
