ITAT affirms CIT(A) decision on cash expenditure for land purchase, dismissing Revenue's appeals.
The ITAT upheld the CIT(A)'s decision to delete the disallowance under u/s 40A(3) for cash expenditure on land purchase, as the expenditure was not claimed in the profit & loss account but debited to work-in-progress, following precedent. The Revenue's appeals were dismissed, affirming the CIT(A)'s order for both cases.
Issues involved: Appeal against order of CIT(A) regarding disallowance under u/s 40A(3) for AY 2005-06 & 2006-07.
Summary: The appeals by the Revenue challenged the CIT(A)'s deletion of disallowance u/s 40A(3) of Rs. 14,43,280/- made by the Assessing Officer for cash expenditure on land purchase. The CIT(A) found that the expenditure was not claimed in the profit & loss account but debited to work-in-progress, following a similar precedent. The ITAT also upheld this view in a related case. The Revenue contended that the CIT(A)'s order was erroneous, but after hearing both sides, the ITAT upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, stating that the disallowance under u/s 40A(3) was not applicable as the expenditure was not claimed in the profit & loss account. The ITAT dismissed the Revenue's appeals, affirming the CIT(A)'s order for both cases.
