The assessment in this case for Assessment Year 2014-15 was made u/s 143(3) dated 19.12.2006. Subsequently, it came to the notice of the Assessing Officer that the remuneration amounting to Rs. 8,80,000/- was allowed to partner but Rs. 3,00,000/- is maximum remuneration limit as per IT. Act, 1961. Thus, the excess remuneration amounting to Rs. 5,80,000/- is not allowable and therefore, a notice u/s 151 of the Act was issued to the assessee firm on 06.07.2018 which was .....

The copy of the supplementary Deed of Partnership dated 1/4/2011 is also submitted before me which clearly states that the maximum remuneration which can be paid to the working partners is Rs.30 lacs. Therefore, I find that remuneration of Rs 8,80,000/- allowed to partners during the year under appeal is within the limit duly authorized by the Partnership Deed as well as section 40(b)(v) of the IT Act, 1961. Accordingly, this ground of the appellant is allowed. 12. Since the ld.
