The Tribunal held that the provision for gratuity made by the assessee is an ascertained liability and should be allowed as a deduction. The Tribunal distinguished the case of Indian Overseas Bank vs. DCIT, noting that it dealt with provisions for leave encashment, which is governed by Section 43B(f). However, the present case concerns gratuity, governed by Section 43B(b). The Tribunal referred to the Gauhati High Court's decision in George Williamson (Assam) Ltd. vs. CIT, which held that if a provision is made for payment of gratuity to retiring employees, it is not necessary that actual payment has to be made; if the amount is earmarked for payment, it should be allowed for deduction. The Tribunal also cited ITAT, Jodhpur Bench in Jodhpur Central Co-operative Bank Ltd. vs. JCIT, which allowed payments made directly to LIC towards a gratuity fund. The Tribunal found no reason to interfere with the CIT(A)'s order for AY 2003-04 concerning Section 40A(7)(b) and concluded that the provision for gratuity made by the assessee is an ascertained liability and should be allowed. The appeal of the assessee was allowed.
