This appeal is filed by the revenue assailing the order of the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal, ‘C’ Bench, Bengaluru in appeal ITA No.1447/BANG/2017 relating to the Assessment Year 2010-11, raising the following substantial questions of law: (1) “Whether on the facts and circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was right in law in setting aside disallowance made under section 40(a)(ia) of the Act in respect of commission payment by holding that the provisions of section 195 are not applicable in the facts of present case ignoring that assessee had failed to establish nature of payments and even during the appellate proceedings, the assessee had not submitted complete details about the nature of services rendered by the payees for which commission has been paid and whether this would fall beyond the scope for fee for technical services?”
(2) “Whether on the facts and circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was right in law in holding that the nature of commission payments are not in dispute when the assessing authority has clearly disputed the same and made disallowance under section 40(a)(ia) of the Act since all the conditions set out in said provision was fulfilled?”.
Learned counsel for the revenue fairly submits that the substantial questions of law raised herein, do not relate to the ITA Nos.1447 and 1448/BANG/2017 decided by the tribunal, on the other hand, the same relates to ITA Nos.1519 and 1520/BANG/2017, against which the revenue has preferred ITA No.62/2021 and ITA FR No.216/2021. accordingly, submits that the appeal may be disposed of, as no substantial questions of law arise in the present appeal.
The said submission is placed on record.
In view of the aforesaid, appeal stands disposed of, as no substantial questions of law arises for consideration in this appeal.
