Analysis:

Issue 1: Disallowance of payments made to M/s Usha Kiron Movies Ltd for non-deduction of taxes:
- The assessee and the Revenue filed cross appeals against the CIT (A)'s order.
- The AO disallowed payments made to M/s Usha Kiron Movies Ltd under section 40(a)(ia) for non-deduction of taxes.

- The CIT (A) upheld the AO's decision, leading to the assessee's appeal.
- The ITAT admitted additional grounds of appeal and held that section 194C does not apply if payments are for purchases attracting VAT.
- The ITAT found that the assessee paid TDS exceeding the required rate and that all payments were made before the year-end, leading to the disallowance being deleted.

Issue 2: Disallowance of dividend/interest paid to subscribers without deducting tax:
- The AO disallowed dividend/interest paid to chit fund subscribers under section 40(a)(ia), but the CIT (A) deleted the addition.
- The ITAT followed a jurisdictional High Court decision in favor of the assessee, dismissing the Revenue's appeal on this issue.

Issue 3: Proportionate disallowance of expenses incurred for subsidiary companies:
- The AO disallowed expenses incurred for subsidiary companies based on collections made by different officers.
- The CIT (A) upheld a disallowance of expenses based on the earlier year's decision.
- The ITAT confirmed the disallowance of expenses, as done for the previous year, leading to the Revenue's appeal being dismissed.
