Appeal on Commission & Interest Disallowance under IT Act

The revenue challenged the deletion of disallowances by the Commissioner regarding commission payment and interest to a sister concern. The Assessing Officer disallowed deductions due to lack of evidence, but the Commissioner allowed them based on the appellant's submissions. The Tribunal remanded both matters back to the Commissioner for reasoned orders, allowing the appeal for statistical purposes.
