Disallowance sustained by the CIT(A) made out of various expenses - We notice that the assessee did not controvert the finding of the AO that some of the vouchers are supported by self made vouchers. Accordingly, we do not find any reason to interfere with the decision rendered by Ld CIT(A) on this issue.

..... f other expenses, since some of the expenses were supported by self made vouchers. 5. Being aggrieved by the order passed by the AO, the assessee preferred an appeal before the ld. CIT(A), who concurred with the view taken by the AO in respect of disallowance of remuneration paid to directors and disallowance of depreciation. However, he reduced the adhoc disallowance made out of expenses to Rs.1.00 lakh. Accordingly, the Ld CIT(A) allowed the appeal of the assessee in part. 6. Now the assessee is in appeal. 7.

The ld. DR supported the findings of the Assessing Officer. It is the say of the ld. DR that the Assessing Officer has considered all the issues raised by the counsel and, therefore, there is no error or infirmity in the findings of the Assessing Officer and the ld. CIT(A). 21. We have given thoughtful consideration to the orders of the authorities below.
