Income under the head 'business and profession' would be earned by incurring relevant expenditure. While unjustified expenditure could be disallowed, there are limits to the documentation and evidence a normal business would maintain. The assessee meticulously maintained documents, deducted tax at source on payments to vendors executing turnkey projects. The CIT(A) failed to appreciate the limits on evidence a business entity would have to justify expenditure. The assessee provided detailed documents justifying the expenditure incurred. Relying on judicial precedents, the burden of proof on the assessee regarding proving expenditure u/s 37(1) has limits and cannot be mainly disallowed on the grounds adopted by the Assessing Officer. Disallowance u/s 37(1) was deleted, decided in favor of the assessee.
