The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, stating that penalizing the assessee for non-deduction of TDS on rent paid to tax-exempt trusts was unreasonable as it was a revenue-neutral situation. Regarding payments to banks, the Tribunal agreed that these were in the nature of interest and not professional services, thus not subject to TDS.
The Tribunal held that the assessee has a right to prove their case before the CIT(A), especially when the assessment was ex-parte. The CIT(A) erred in dismissing the application for additional evidence without proper consideration.
