The ground was allowed for statistical purposes.
Issue 2: Disallowance of depreciation on goodwill The appellant raised a grievance regarding the disallowance of depreciation on goodwill, citing a decision by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in another case.

The Tribunal observed that goodwill falls under the expression of ‘any other business or commercial right of a similar nature’ in Explanation 3 to Section 32(1) of the Income Tax Act. The Tribunal directed the Assessing Officer to allow the claim of depreciation on goodwill acquired by the assessee, supported by a Valuation Report. The Tribunal upheld the grievance of the assessee and allowed the appeal for statistical purposes.
