..... ies? Ans. As per my knowledge and the discussion with Mr. Mahesh Khairnar and Mr. Satpute the certificates issued by me were only for the purpose of the future business prospects of the company.

Subsequently, the valuation of intangible assets have been done by two Govt. approved valuers. These valuers have categorically stated that the assessee has not created any intangible assets. Thus, there is no existence of intangible assets like Product Research Development and Product Design Drawing. Further, Shri Mahesh Khairnar has accepted, in his statement recorded during the survey, that 50% valuation of the intangible assets as nongenuine subject to fresh valuation. Accordingly, he also accepted 50% depreciation of these assets as excessive. It is thus accepted that he has no evide .....
