of <h1>High Court affirms ITAT decision on late deposits for AY 2013-14</h1> <h3>Principal Commissioner of Income Tax – 7 Versus Planman HR Pvt. Ltd.,</h3> Principal Commissioner of Income Tax – 7 Versus Planman HR Pvt. Ltd., - TMI Issues:- Appeal against ITAT order for AY 2013-14- Correctness of deletion of addition of late deposit of PF, ESI, and professional taxAnalysis:1. The appeal was filed by the Revenue against an order passed by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) for the Assessment Year (AY) 2013-14. The main issue raised was whether the ITAT was correct in deleting the addition of a substantial amount made by the Assessing Officer (AO) on account of the late deposit of Provident Fund (PF), Employee State Insurance (ESI), and professional tax, while allegedly ignoring the provisions of Section 36(1)(va) and Section 7(24)(x) of the Income-tax Act, 1961.2. The Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) and the ITAT had both found that the Assessee employer had made the payment towards the employees' contribution of the Provident Fund before the date of filing the return. This action was considered within the 'due date' as per the decision in Commissioner of Income Tax v. AIMIL Ltd. The court noted that this decision had been consistently followed in subsequent judgments of the court and was also upheld by other High Courts, such as the Allahabad High Court and the Karnataka High Court.3. The Revenue's counsel tried to convince the Court to reconsider the decision in Commissioner of Income Tax v. AIMIL Ltd., but the Court observed that the decision had been consistently applied in later cases. As a result, the Court declined to entertain the question of law as proposed by the Revenue and dismissed the appeal.4. In conclusion, the High Court upheld the ITAT's decision to delete the addition of the amount related to late deposits of PF, ESI, and professional tax, based on the finding that the payments were made before the due date. The Court's decision was supported by the precedent set in previous cases and was deemed consistent with the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961.
