M/s Anand Textiles, vs. Income Tax Officer, Tung Pai, Batala Road, Ward 4(1), Amritsar, Amritsar Punjab [PAN: AAGFA 1009B] (Appellant) (Respondent)
Appellant by : Sh. Parveen Jain (Adv.) Respondent by: Smt. Raman Damathia (DR) Date of Hearing: 17.12.2019 Date of Pronouncement: 19.12.2019
ORDER Per O. P. Meena, AM: This appeal filed by the Assessee is directed against the order of learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-2, Amritsar dated 30.08.2019 for the Assessment Year 2008-09.
Ground no. 1 is general in nature and does not require our adjudication.
Ground no. 2 is against the passing ex-parte order by CIT(Appeal).
We have heard the rival submissions and find that the Ld. CIT(Appeal) has fixed hearing on 02.07.2012, 23.12.2013, 10.11.2017, 23.10.2015, 20.01.2017 and 14.08.2019. However, the counsel of the assessee has sought adjournment on various dates and no details were filed, therefore the order passed by the
2 ITA No. 674/Asr/2019 (AY 2008-09) M/s Anand Textiles v. ITO CIT(appeal) on merits. We do not find any infirmity in the order of CIT(Appeal), accordingly this ground of appeal is dismissed.
Ground no. 3 is against the confirmation of disallowance of Rs.3,24,775/- being 10% of fabrication charges.
The counsel submitted that the books of account were rejected u/s 145(3) of the Act. Hence, where the books of account are rejected and GP rate is applied, then no other addition is required to be made.
Per contra the Ld. DR relied on the orders of lower authorities.
We have heard the rival submissions and find that hence the books of account are rejected then no other addition is required to be made, therefore above disallowance of Rs.3,24,775/- made by the AO on account of fabrication expenses is accordingly deleted.
Ground no. 4 is against the confirmation of addition of Rs.5,03,743/- made on account of non deduction of TDS on clearing and forwarding charges.
The AO noted that the assessee has made payment of Rs.5,03,743/- on account of clearing and forwarding charges on which tax was not deducted as per provisions of section 194C of the Act. Hence, the expenses were disallowed u/s 40(a)(ia) of the Act.
Being aggrieved the assessee filed this appeal before this tribunal. The Ld. counsel submitted that when the books of account are rejected then no other disallowances are called for.
Per contra the Ld. Sr. DR submitted that the disallowances were made u/s 40(a)(ia) of the Act which are statutory disallowances, hence same are not related
3 ITA No. 674/Asr/2019 (AY 2008-09) M/s Anand Textiles v. ITO to rejection of books of account, hence the CIT(Appeal) has rightly confirmed the same.
We have heard the rival submissions and perused the material available on record. We find that the disallowances were made on account of non deduction of TDS u/s 194C of the Act which are statutory disallowances, hence the same are not governed by the rejection of books of account. Hence, same are required to be disallowed statutorily, therefore this ground of appeal of the assessee is dismissed.
In the result, the appeal of the assessee is partly allowed.
