The A.O further observed that at the time of survey total incentive was only ₹ 10.54 lacs till 22.01.2002 and the same jumped to 36.33 lacs meaning thereby that the assessee has booked expenses of ₹ 25.79 lacs during the intervening period from 22.01.2002 to 31.03.2002. 5. Since, the assessee failed to furnish details of recipient and the basis of working the incentive, the A.O disallowed the excess claim of incentive to the tune of ₹ 25.78 lacs. 6.
