The Ld.Pr.CIT observed that in the orders u/s 263 it was clearly mentioned that the assessee had accepted the non deduction of tax at source and assured to pay the tax with interest and accordingly directed the A.O. to make the addition. The A.O. instead of making the entire sum of ₹ 33,63,840/- as addition and acted beyond the jurisdiction and allowed the expenditure incurred under the head printing and binding charges stating that the provisions of TDS were not applicable, hence issued the show cause notice to the assessee and the assessee filed the objections.
