I have considered the rival submissions and perused the
materials available on record of the Tribunal. There is no dispute
to the fact that the assessee has raised bills of Rs.41,27,928/-,
but the contractee recognized bills to the extent of Rs.39,27,928/-
, which resulted the difference of Rs.2 lakhs. From the ledger
account, it is also seen that the assessee has raised bill dated
21.11.2008 amounting to Rs.4,92,230.00 as reflected in the
ledger account of Dadimaa Consultant & Contract Management,
however, as per TDS certificate, Bhusan Steel Limited has
accounted for Rs.2,92,230.00 and balance outstanding as per
ledger of Bhusan Steel Ltd., the amount was shown at
Rs.33,02,286.00. At the same time, it is seen that in Bill dated
21.11.2018 as reflected in the ledger of Sri Dadimaa Consultant &
Contract Management, the bill has been raised at Rs.2,92,230/-
and as per TDS certificate, Rs.4,92,230/- has been accounted for
and balance outstanding was shown at Rs.35,02,286/-. It is
clearly discernable from the reconciliation statements filed by the
assessee at the time of hearing. Once the contractee has not
recognized Rs 2 lakhs out of the bills raised by the assessee, same
cannot be treated as income of the assessee.
I also point out in CIT(A)’s order at para 5, an amount of
Rs.2 lakhs was deleted on account of excess liability. I observe
P a g e 5 | 12
ITA No. 55/ CTK/2018 Asse ssment Year: 20 09- 201 0
that once again making addition of Rs.2 lakhs on account of
excess liability will amount to double addition. However, from
para 4 of the CIT(A)’s order, I observe that the ground of the
assessee challenging the addition on account of short receipt from
Bhusan Steel Limited has been confirmed which triggered Ground
No.2 of the assessee before this bench.
A situation may be arisen that once the assessee raised bill
a higher amount and the contractee settles the same bill at a
lesser amount and deduct TDS accordingly and the differential
amount of lesser payment will obviously reflect in the ledger as
well as reconciliation statement.
In view of foregoing discussion, I restore this issue to the
file of the Assessing Officer to verify the TDS certificate issued by
the contractee against bill dated 21.11.2008 amounting to
Rs.4,92,230/- and if the Assessing Officer finds that the
contractee has settled bill Rs.2,92,230/- and has made payment
accordingly after deducting TDS on the same amount, then,
impugned addition of Rs.2 lakhs on account of short receipt from
Bhusan Steel Limited being not sustainable should be deleted.
Accordingly, for this limited purpose, this issue is restored to the
file of the Assessing Officer.
