Disallowance of expenses on account of purchase of grit, rodi, bajri2. Disallowance of labour and wages expenses3. Disallowance of petrol & diesel, vehicle repairing, and depreciation expenses4. Disallowance of telephone expensesAnalysis:Issue 1: Disallowance of expenses on account of purchase of grit, rodi, bajriThe appeal by the Revenue challenged the deletion of an addition of Rs. 9,69,670 for expenses on the purchase of materials. The Assessing Officer (AO) had rejected the books of account under section 145(3) and disallowed 10% of the expenditure on materials. The CIT(A) deleted this addition based on the assessee's progressive net profit rate before depreciation, interest, and remuneration to partners. The ITAT upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, emphasizing that the net profit rate should be considered before these deductions. The AO's ad hoc disallowance lacked specific findings on expenses not being for business purposes, leading to the dismissal of the Revenue's appeal.Issue 2: Disallowance of labour and wages expensesThe Revenue contested the deletion of Rs. 6,87,519 disallowed for labour charges. The CIT(A) reversed this disallowance, citing the assessee's higher net profit rate before deductions compared to previous years. The ITAT supported this reasoning, emphasizing the importance of considering the net profit rate before depreciation, interest, and remuneration to partners. The lack of specific findings by the AO on disallowed expenses led to the dismissal of the Revenue's appeal.Issue 3: Disallowance of petrol & diesel, vehicle repairing, and depreciation expensesThe Revenue challenged the deletion of Rs. 20,39,933 disallowed for petrol, diesel, vehicle repairs, and depreciation. The CIT(A) based the deletion on the assessee's net profit rate before deductions being higher than in previous years. The ITAT upheld this decision, emphasizing the need to consider the net profit rate before certain deductions. The absence of specific findings by the AO on disallowed expenses resulted in the dismissal of the Revenue's appeal.Issue 4: Disallowance of telephone expensesThe Revenue disputed the deletion of Rs. 4760 disallowed for telephone expenses. The CIT(A) reversed this disallowance, aligning with the assessee's higher net profit rate before deductions compared to earlier years. The ITAT supported this stance, emphasizing the significance of the net profit rate before certain deductions. The absence of specific AO findings on disallowed expenses led to the dismissal of the Revenue's appeal.In conclusion, the ITAT Jaipur upheld the CIT(A)'s decision to delete the disallowances of various expenses, emphasizing the importance of considering the net profit rate before certain deductions and the lack of specific findings by the AO on disallowed expenses.
