DEPUTY COMMISSIONER OF INCOME-TAX, CIRCLE - 14,, PUNE vs. M/S. KENERSYS INDIA PVT.LTD,, PUNE

Briefly stated, the facts of the case are that the assessee is engaged in the business of supply of erection, installation, operations and maintenance of wind turbine generators and other related activities. The assessee claimed deduction of Rs.6,22,78,543/- towards provision of warranty which was disallowed by the Assessing Officer (AO). The ld. CIT(A), following his own view for preceding years, overturned the assessment order on this score. Aggrieved thereby, the Revenue has come up in appeal before the Tribunal.

Having heard both the sides and gone through the relevant material on record, it is seen as an admitted position that the disallowance of warranty provision for the year under consideration is based on the view taken by the AO and the ld. CIT(A) respectively for the earlier years. The appeal of the assessee for the A.Y. 2011-12 came up for consideration before the Tribunal. Vide order dated 11-11-2021, The Tribunal following the decision in the assessee’s own case for the A.Y. 2010-11 countenanced the view of the ld. CIT(A).

As the facts and circumstances are admittedly similar, following the precedent, we uphold the impugned order.

In the appeal, the appeal is dismissed.
