..... nce of ₹ 3,24,000/- paid to four individual security guards appointed by the assessee. We find the AO disallowed an amount of ₹ 3,24,000/- being the salary paid to the security guards on the ground that such payments have been made to the contractor without deducting tax u/s 194-C of the Act. We find the learned CIT(A) sustained the addition by observing as under:- I have considered the submissions made by the appellant as well as the remand report of the A.O. dated 01.01.2018. The findings of the AO has clearly shown that no copy of salary register or attendance register was filed nor was the mode of payment indicated. Payments to security guards have been indicated separately in the P L A/c. The assessee has not been able to controvert this finding of the A.O. I, therefore, confirm the said addition.

..... we find the learned CIT(A) after obtaining the remand report from the AO dismissed the ground raised by the assessee on this issue by observing as under:- 5.3. The A.O. has clearly pointed out the absence of documentary evidence in respect of rent paid at the assessment as well as the remand stage. The documents submitted are basically certificates issued by the appellants and purportedly singed by the co-owners which lack verifiablility. The so-called rent agreement is also undated. In the absence of the same, the addition has been correctly made and I confirm the same. This ground of appeal is dismissed. 12. We find the assessee neither at the assessment stage nor at the remand stage has produced sufficient documents or evidence for the allowability of the rent. Considering the totality of facts of the case and in the interest of justice, we deem it proper to restore this issue to the file of the AO with a direction to grant one more opportunity to the assessee to substantiate her case and decide the issue as per fact and law. Accordingly, the second issue raised by the assessee in the grounds of appeal is allowed for statistical purpose. 13. The next issue raised i .....
