GUNATIT REALTY,VADODARA vs. THE ACIT, CIRCLE-3(1) PRESENT JURISDICTION CIRCLE-2(1)(1), VADODARA

Adjournment sought by the ld.counsel for the assessee has been rejected. The ld.DR relied on the order of the ld.CIT(A).

The records placed before me have been perused. The assessee has filed return of income declaring loss of (-)Rs.40,74,157/-. Disallowance of 20% of the expenses on account of labour and site expenses incurred by the assessee have been made by the AO on adhoc basis. The AO held that the vouchers submitted by the assessee was not reliable and defied logic.

On going through the record before me, it is clear that the reasons for disallowing of the expenses was that the expenses were made on cash. The books of accounts have been duly audited and accepted by the Revenue. The statement of Shri Rahul Parikh recorded by the AO only proved that the expenses made in cash, and nothing beyond. No other reason given by the AO to disallow the expenses on adhoc basis. Keeping in view, the facts on record, the appeal of the assessee is hereby allowed.
