genuinely incurred for the business purposes and confirmation from the employees and the professional consultants regarding the services provided and the receipt of salary/professional fees are placed at pages 1 to 10 of the additional evidences. He therefore submitted that in the interest of natural justice these additional evidences may be remitted to ld.CIT(A) for due consideration and for deciding the issues on merit.
