CIT(A). Ground No. 2 with its sub-grounds is dismissed. Disallowance made of claim of bad debts - short payment received on full and final settlement of debts with M/s Park Non-Woven Pvt. Ltd. the debtor of the company - HELD THAT:- Assessee has written off provision for bad debt and has credited the account of Park Non Woven Pvt Ltd by the said provision. The assessee has clearly written off provision for bad and doubtful debt which is not allowable and interestingly, on 31.03.2015, outstanding debit balance in the account of Park Non Woven Pvt Ltd was Rs. 90,74,626/- from which provision was written off to the tune of Rs. 17 lakhs and balance carried forward was Rs. 51,03,331/-. After provision for bad debt, the assessee has received entire outstanding amount of Rs. 51,03,331/-. We fail to understand, if the debtor was not in a position to pay debt as on 31.03.2015, then how the assessee has received Rs. 51 lakhs after write off. Facts on rec .....

That the Ld. CIT(A) has erred on facts and circumstances of the case in confirming addition of Rs. 91,90,000/- made by Ld. AO on account of Long-Term Capital Gain on the sale of property in the hand of the appellate company without appreciating: (a) that ownership cannot be transferred to a person without consideration. (b) The company cannot become owner who has not made any payment to director. (c) that HSIDC only permitted company to use the plot for manufacturing and thus cannot make it owner. (d) that capital gain if any, can be charged only in the hands of owner but not on the name of lender for purchases of HSIDC. (e) that owner of the property was Director of the assessee company Shri S. K. Gupta as per the sale deed executed at the time of purchase in his name and the assessee company was only authorized to use the property. (f) that while com .....

It was brought to the notice of the Assessing Officer that the consideration received by the assessee was immediately transferred to Shri Surender Kumar Gupta who was the real owner of the said property. 9. The explanation of the assessee was dismissed by the Assessing Officer who was of the firm belief that he plot in question has been sold to M/s Poly Medicure Limited by way of conveyance deed in which the assessee has been shown as the vendor/seller in the capacity of the company and the deed has been executed by Shri Surender Kumar Gupta in the capacity of the director and authorized signatory of the company. 10. The Assessing Officer observed that the seller of the property, as per record of the Registration Authority, is the assessee company and consideration has been received by the assessee company and went on to make addition of Rs. 91.90 lakhs. 11. The assessee carried the matter before the ld. CIT(A) but without any success. 12. Before us, the ld. counsel for the assessee vehemently reiterated what has been stated before the lower authorities and pointed out that Supplementary Agreement for industrial plot/shed was entered into by the .....

No transfer fee will be levied in cases of industrial units which have been in commercial production for more than five years and are free from encumbrances Similarly no transfer fee will be leviable in cases of transfers necessitated on account of inheritance, family transfer or take over by a financial institution. Only a processing fee of Rs.5000/- (or as revised from time to time) will be charged in all such cases However-prior permission of HSIDC is mandatory. 16. The aforementioned clauses clearly show that the ownership was changed from Shri Surender Kumar Gupta to the assessee and hence there should not be any dispute in so far as who is the seller of the property is. Facts on record clearly demonstrate that the seller of the property is the .....

Hence the Company M/S.

AND WHEREAS previously, the Industrial Plot bearing No. 80, Sector-59, measuring 450 sq. metres (538.2 sq. yards) of the HSIIDC, Faridabad has been purchased by Shri Surender Kumar Gupta son of Shri P.C.

In view of it, I hold that M/s. Aditya Olibchem Private Limited was the absolute owner and in possession of Industrial Plot bearing No. 80, Sector-59, measuring 450 sq. metres HSIIDC, Industrial Estate, Faridabad. Accordingly, I hold that the AO has correctly added the amount of Rs. 91,90,000/- to the total income of the appellant company on account of sale of the said Industrial Plot bearing No. 80, Sector-59, measuring 450 sq. metres, HSIIDC, Industrial Estate, Faridabad. This ground of appeal is decided against the appellant. 17. In light of the afore-stated uncontroverted facts, we do not find any reason to interfere with the findings of the ld. CIT(A). Ground No. 2 with its sub-grounds is dismissed. 18. Ground No. 3 relates to the disallowance of claim of bad debts of Rs. 17 lakhs. 19. During the course of scrutiny assessment proceedings, the Assessing Officer noticed that the assessee has written off Rs. 17 lakhs as provision for bad debts.

The Assessing Officer is directed to allow the claim of Rs. 12,00,624/-. Ground No. 4 is, accordingly, allowed. 32. Ground No. 5 relates to the denial of reversal of Excise Duty of Rs. 2,61,180/- as sales return and service tax of Rs. 1,30,435/-. 33. While scrutinizing the return, the Assessing Officer noticed that the assessee has written off Rs. 2,6,180/-, which the assessee claimed as reversal of duty claim, as detected by the audit party of the Excise department. 34. The Assessing Officer further noticed that Service Tax amounting to Rs. 1,30,435/- on transport of material was also charged by the audit party and the same amount was adjusted against Excise Duty in the record. Since no evidence was produced before the Assessing Officer to substantiate the claim, the Assessing Officer made the addition of Rs. 3,91,615/-. 35. The assessee challenged the addition before the ld. CIT(A) but without any success. 36.
