This does not mean that by making such observation, the Assessing Officer had admitted the claim of the assessee to the extent as mentioned by the Tribunal. Thereafter, the Tribunal, without any explanation, proceeded to hold that the dispute was only with regard to ₹ 28,28,38,187/-. Even if the last two figures are added, the total amount would not be the amount of total disallowance as mentioned by the Tribunal. This itself shows that there is error in the figures shown.
