ORDER / आदेश The instant appeal filed by the assessee is directed against the order dated 14.06.2024 passed by the CITA-7, Delhi arising out of the intimation dated 06.03.2020 for Assessment Year 2019-20 under Section 143(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, (hereinafter referred to as ‘the act’) whereby and whereunder the disallowance of expenditure in respect of payment made towards employees Provident fund amounting to Rs.14,77,078/-has been upheld.
Assessment Year: 2019-20 Ramesh Bros. Engineering Corporation 2. At the time of hearing of the matter none appeared on behalf of the assessee, neither any adjournment has been sought for. Hence, the matter has been decided ex parte.
Upon perusal of the order passed by the Ld. CIT(A), it appears that since the disputed amount of employees contribution to PF/ESIC were paid by the assessee beyond the due dates as prescribed under the relevant Acts, following the order dated 12.10.2022 passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Checkmate Services Private Limited –vs- Commissioner of Income Tax, in Civil Appeal No. 2833 of 2022, the said authority confirmed the order of disallowance made by the CPC under Section 36 (1)(va) r.w.s.2(24)(x) of the Act which is found to be justified, without any ambiguity so as not to warrant interference. Hence, the appeal preferred by the assessee is found to be devoid of any merit and thus, dismissed.
In the result, the assessee’s appeal is dismissed.
Order is pronounced in the open court on 16th October, 2024
