Deletion of late deposit of ESIC and PFAnalysis:1. Disallowance of USA expenses:The Revenue appealed against the deletion of a disallowance of Rs.4,78,76,044 on account of USA expenses for the assessment year 2002-03. The Ld. CIT(A) had deleted the disallowance, citing similar disallowances in the assessee's case for the assessment year 2006-07 and 2007-08. The Tribunal referred to previous orders and agreements between the assessee and M/s Global Reliance Inc., emphasizing that expenses were the responsibility of the assessee. The Tribunal analyzed various legal precedents, including the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court and ITAT Mumbai, to conclude that the expenses claimed by the assessee were related to marketing and sales expenses. It was observed that the consignment agent did not render services in India, and thus, consignment commission was not taxable in India. The Tribunal also noted that the authorities had accepted the accounting method of the assessee. In light of these observations and legal principles, the Tribunal dismissed the Revenue's appeal.2.
