Yadav, Adv. Ms. Nida Fatima, Adv. For The Revenue : Dr. Anjula Jain, Sr. DR ORDER This appeal by assessee has been directed against the order of Ld. CIT(Appeals)-Rohtak dated 05.06.2018 for AY 2014-15. 2. I have heard Ld. Representatives of both the parties and perused the material available on record. 3. On ground no. 1, assessee challenged the disallowance of ₹ 1,96,228/- out of renovation expenses. 4.

AO accepted substantial renovation expenses incurred by assessee wholly and exclusively for the purpose of business. Thus, it was considered as Revenue expenditure. The AO has not brought anything on record, as to on incurring renovation expenses what capital had been generated by the assessee. The nature of business clearly shows that renovation expenses are required to be incurred for smooth functioning of retail outlet of petrol pump.

The genuineness of the expenses are not in doubt. In this view of the matter, I hold that the entire exp ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... onfirm the addition. 9.

Counsel for the assessee submitted that section 194C is not applicable in this case, because the amount paid in the year was less than ₹ 75,000/- as per proviso to section 194C(5) of the Act. Section 194C(5) of the Act provides no deduction shall be made from the amount of any sum credited or paid or likely to be credited or paid to the account of, or to, the contractor, if such sum does not exceed ₹ 30,000/-. Provided that where the aggregate of the amounts of such sum credited or paid or likely to be credited or paid during the financial year exceeds ₹ 75,000/-, the person responsible for paying s .....

After considering the rival submission, I am of the view that addition is unjustified. Ld. Counsel for the assessee submitted that assessee is receiving this amount from HPCL as lease charges and M/s HPCL in turn is charging this amount from assessee as service charges. The assessee is paying is lease rental of ₹ 6,600/- to M/s HPCL. Therefore, the net impact of this entry is Revenue neutral. The authorities below have failed to understand these entries. The copies of the accounts are filed at pages 38 onwards in the PB. He has submitted that on similar facts no addition have been made in earlier year and subsequent year.
