<h1>Tribunal Decisions on IT Act Disallowances Upheld, Partially Allowed - Assessing Officer's Consideration Required</h1> <h3>Deloitte Consulting India P Ltd Versus The Dy Commr of Income Tax Range 2(2), Mumbai</h3> Deloitte Consulting India P Ltd Versus The Dy Commr of Income Tax Range 2(2), Mumbai - TMI Issues:1. Non-adjudication of disallowance u/s 14A of the IT Act.2. Disallowance of deduction u/s 10A on suo-moto disallowance made by the assessee.Analysis:Issue 1: Non-adjudication of disallowance u/s 14A of the IT ActThe assessee raised a point in the Miscellaneous Application regarding the non-adjudication of the disallowance u/s 14A of the IT Act in the order dated 30.3.2012. The Tribunal found that the issue had been left un-adjudicated and required rectification. Referring to the decision of the Bombay High Court in the case of Godrej & Boyce Manufacturing Co Ltd vs DCIT, the Tribunal decided not to interfere with the order of the Commissioner of Income Tax(Appeals) regarding the disallowance u/s 14A. The Tribunal directed the Assessing Officer to consider the contention of the assessee that no direct or indirect expense had been incurred to earn the exempt income.Issue 2: Disallowance of deduction u/s 10A on suo-moto disallowance made by the assesseeThe second mistake alleged by the assessee in the Miscellaneous Application pertained to the disallowance of deduction u/s 10A concerning the reimbursement of salary and expenses of its AE. The Tribunal considered the arguments presented by both parties. The Assessing Officer and the Commissioner of Income Tax(Appeals) disallowed the deduction u/s 10A on the grounds that the income resulting from the adjustment made by the assessee had no nexus with the software development activity, thus not qualifying for the deduction. The Tribunal examined the issue and upheld the decision of the Assessing Officer and Commissioner of Income Tax(Appeals) regarding the disallowance u/s 10A. The Tribunal found that the disallowance was not based on any new issue and therefore did not require rectification under sec. 254(2).In conclusion, the Tribunal partly allowed the Miscellaneous Application filed by the assessee, maintaining the decisions on both issues.
