After hearing both the parties we agree with the submissions of the ld. counsel of the assessee that the ld. CIT(A) has already confirmed the disallowance to 25% of the expenses for non production of vouchers. This disallowance is most reasonable and accordingly we confirm the order of the ld. CIT(A). 14.
