It was on this contention of the assessee that the Ld. CIT(A) directed the A.O. to verify the actual amount involved. 25. It has been maintained by the assessee all through that the payment to Vikram Electric Equipment P. Ltd. was on account of transfer of certain rights of Vikram Electric Equipment P. Ltd. in the lands transferred to the assessee and was not toward any services rendered. As a consolidator, Vikram Electric Equipment P.
