The Grounds Raised By Revenue Reads As Under:- “1. That On The Facts & In Circumstances Of The Case, The Cit(A) Erred On Facts As Well As In Law In Holding That Depreciation Of Rs.6,92,40,656/- On Plants & Machinery Purchased Of Rs.40,90,09,565/- Was Allowable, Ignoring The Fact That The Plant & Machinery Acquired Was Commissioned At The End Of The Relevant Previous Year & In This Regard The Auditor In His Report Did Not Mention The Actual Date Of Installation / Commissioning Date In 3 Cd Report Field Along With The Return However, Cit(A) Accepted The Additional Evidences In This Regard In Contravention To Rule 46A.”

92,40,656/-which was consisting of depreciation on WDV as well as plant and machinery purchased during the year.
