The appeal is presented on the following substantial question of law:
"Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal is justified in setting aside the disallowance of claim of depreciation on purchase of Intellectual Property Rights made by assessing authority under section 40(a)(ia) of the Act as they had failed to deduct TDS on payments made in respect of purchase of intellectual property rights by following Apex Court decision in case Engineering Analysis Centre reported in (2021) 125 taxmann.com 42 and decision in the case of PCIT Vs Tally Solutions Pvt Ltd reported in (2021) 123 taxmann.com 21 which has not reached finality and even when the ingredients of section 40(a)(ia) of the Act are satisfied in case of assessee?"
Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and having perused the appeal papers, we are of the considered opinion that the appeal involves no substantial question of law. A Co-ordinate Bench decision in Principal Commissioner of Income Tax - 7 V/s. Tally Solutions Private Limited (2021) 123 taxmann.com 21, has been scrupulously followed by the Tribunal. While granting relief to the Assessee. In view of the above, we do not find any merits in the appeal and
