Appellate Tribunal affirms deduction of foreign exchange loss in line with accounting policies and legal precedent.
The Appellate Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision to allow the deduction of a foreign exchange loss claimed by the assessee for the assessment year 2009-10. The Tribunal dismissed the Revenue's appeal, citing the consistent application of accounting policies and the precedent set by the Supreme Court in a similar case. The disallowance of the unrealized foreign exchange loss was deemed unfounded, and the CIT(A)'s order directing the AO to delete the disallowance and allow the claimed amount was affirmed.
Issues: Disallowance of unrealized foreign exchange loss for deduction in the assessment year 2009-10.
Analysis:
The only issue before the Appellate Tribunal was the disallowance of a foreign exchange loss amounting to Rs. 20,88,885 claimed by the assessee for the assessment year 2009-10. The Assessing Officer (AO) disallowed this loss, considering it a contingent liability. However, the CIT(A) allowed the deduction, citing the decision of the Apex Court in the case of Woodward Governor India Pvt. Ltd. The CIT(A) noted that the assessee followed the accounting policies as per AS-11 prescribed by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India consistently, irrespective of gain or loss. The CIT(A) directed the AO to delete the disallowance and allow the claimed amount based on the Supreme Court decision.
The Appellate Tribunal, after considering the arguments, found no infirmity in the CIT(A)'s order. The Tribunal dismissed the Revenue's appeal, affirming the CIT(A)'s decision. The Tribunal noted that the Revenue failed to provide any material to contradict the CIT(A)'s findings and conclusions. Therefore, the appeal by the Revenue was dismissed, upholding the order passed by the CIT(A).
In conclusion, the Appellate Tribunal upheld the decision of the CIT(A) regarding the disallowance of the unrealized foreign exchange loss for deduction in the assessment year 2009-10. The Tribunal found the CIT(A)'s reasoning consistent with the applicable accounting policies and supported by the Supreme Court decision, leading to the dismissal of the Revenue's appeal.
