(A.2) The present appeal for A.Y. 2015-16 has been filed by Revenue against impugned order of Ld. CIT(A). During appellate proceedings, copy of Income & Expenditure statement was filed from assessee’s side. At the time of hearing, the Ld. Departmental
Representative for Revenue relied on the assessment order. The Ld. Counsel relied on impugned order. After hearing both sides, we are of the view that the impugned order of the Ld. CIT(A) is just and fair having regard to applicable law and facts as well as circumstances of the case. Therefore, we decline to interfere with the impugned order of Ld. CIT(A) for A.Y. 2015-16. The impugned order of Ld. CIT(A) for A.Y. 2015-16 is upheld and appeal of the Revenue is dismissed.
(B)
The facts and circumstances for A.Y. 2018-19 are in pari materia with A.Y. 2015-16 and our findings for A.Y. 2015-16 will apply mutatis mutandis to A.Y. 2018-19 also no material has been brought for our consideration by either side to persuade us to take a view in A.Y. 2018-19, different from view taken by us in A.Y. 2015-16. (B.1) Accordingly, consistent with our order for A.Y. 2015-16, we set aside the impugned order of Ld. CIT(A) for A.Y. 2018-19 also; and thus, appeal of Revenue for A.Y. 2018-19 is also dismissed.
(C)
In the result, both appeals are dismissed, for statistical purposes.
