..... treated as capital expenditure by the Revenue. Learned CIT(A) allowed the relief, against which, Revenue was in appeal. However, the ITAT, vide order dated 28th August, 2012 rendered in ITA No.1619 to 1621/Del/2010, upheld the order of the CIT(A) and dismissed the Revenue's appeal. Similar view is followed in AY 2004- 05, 2005-06 2006-07 and thereafter, in AY 2007-08. In view of the above orders of the ITAT in preceding five years, we do not find any justification to interfere with the order of learned CIT(A) in this regard. The same is sustained and ground No.1 of the Revenue's appeal is rejected. 4. Ground No.2 of the Revenue's appeal reads as under:- "The ld.CIT(A) has erred in directing the AO to allow deduction of Rs. 88,87,668/ .....

In the rejoinder, it is stated by the learned counsel that if the addition is sustained in this year, then it would amount to double addition because in the subsequent year, by reversing the entry, the assessee has offered the sum of 88,87,668/- as its income. He, therefore, submitted that he has no objection if the addition is sustained in this year with a direction to the Assessing Officer that the income offered by the assessee in the subsequent year by reversal of the above entry should not be assessed in the subsequent year. 8. Learned DR has no objection to the issue of such direction to the Assessing Officer. 9. After considering .....

..... penditure. If it is so, he will give the consequential effect i.e., such reversal would not be treated as income of the assessee in that year. With this direction, ground No.2 of the Revenue's appeal is allowed. 10. Ground No.3 of the Revenue's appeal reads as under:- "The ld.CIT(A) erred on facts and in law in deleting the addition amounting to Rs. 10,79,660/- capitalization of licence fee paid to M/s Nuance Communication." 11. We have heard both the parties and perused the material placed before us. Learned CIT(A) has recorded the finding that the assessee made the payment of license fee of Rs. 10,79,660/- to M/s Nuance Communication, a Belgian company, as per the agreement for procuring license for use of its voice software and the .....
