The assessee has also raised additional grounds of appeal which read as under: 1. That having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, Ld. CIT(A) has erred in law and on facts in not deleting the impugned disallowance of expenses of Rs. 13,27,995/- as the impugned disallowance made by the Ld.

Accordingly, the whole remuneration receipt of Rs. 21,30,000/- is brought to tax without allowing the expenses claimed by the assessee as discussed above. Thus, the total income of the assessee for A.Y. 2018-19 is assessed u/s 143(3) as under: Income returned under the head Business or profession Rs. 9,23,455/- Add: Undisclosed income as discussed above. .....

Apropos to the grounds of appeal and additional ground of appeal, learned counsel for the assessee made elaborate submissions on the issue and vehemently argued that impugned disallowance of expenditure is unjustified and against the facts.
