Chandigarh dated 29.07.2020 is bad both in the eyes of law and facts. 2. That on the facts and circumstances of the case and law, the Id. CIT (Appeals) has erred in confirming the addition made the Id. Assessing officer (CPC) by holding that the provisions of section 43B had not been complied with by the appellant. 3. That the Id.

..... 3, 4 & 6: I have perused the facts of the case, the action of the A.O. and the submissions of the appellant. The appellant in this case filed the return wherein in the audit report GST of Rs. 2,29,8207- is shown as payable. No details w.r.t. the payment of the same as required u/s 43B are mentioned in the audit report. The A.O has disallowed the claim for deduction while processing the return u/s 143(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. In the give limited facts on record as brought out in the return filed by the appellant there is no case for grievance. However, the appellant in the appeal proceedings is making two claims.

DR stated that the facts as shown by the assessee needed to be verified. 9. On hearing both the parties, therefore, we are of the view that the issue has not been adjudicated by the Ld.CIT(A) after appraising correctly and completely the facts relating to the same. Admittedly, the tax auditor has reported the GST payable as outstanding, in the reporting at point no 26 of the tax audit report, relating to disallowance to be made u/s 43B of the Act.
