Issues: 1. Whether the addition of Gratuity payable amounting to Rs. 14,94,648 made by the Assessing Officer was justified under Section 40A(7) of the Income Tax Act, 1961Rs.
Analysis: The appellant-revenue filed an appeal under Section 260A of the Income Tax Act against the order of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) regarding the addition of Rs. 14,94,648 on account of Gratuity payable for the assessment year 2010-11. The Tribunal noted that the CIT(A) had observed that the impugned balance of gratuity payable was created in the assessment year 2008-09 and added back in the computation for that year. It was found that no provision had been created during the year under consideration, and the current balance was only a brought forward balance, with no debit in the profit and loss account for the relevant year. Consequently, the Tribunal concurred with the CIT(A) and dismissed the appeal filed by the revenue, stating that no substantial question of law arose.
