The Assessing Officer disallowed an amount debited by the assessee based on a debit note issued by the supplier, M/s Essma Textiles Pvt. Ltd. The Assessing Officer found the expenditure excessive under Section 40A(2)(b) of the Act. However, the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) and the Tribunal held that the transaction was genuine and did not warrant the addition made by the Assessing Officer. The court noted that Section 40A(2) empowers authorities to disallow deductions if expenditure is deemed excessive or unreasonable. In this case, both the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) and the Tribunal did not find the expenditure to be excessive or unreasonable. Therefore, the court concluded that the findings were factual and did not raise any substantial question of law for consideration.2.
