Issue No.1 & 2:

The revenue contested the deletion of the addition of an amount received post settlement of claims by the CIT(A). The appellant was a public limited company involved in Export Credit Insurance. The CIT had deleted the addition based on the grounds of fiduciary capacity for exporters/banks. The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal upheld the CIT's decision. The revenue argued that the CIT's order was wrong, but the Tribunal dismissed the appeal.

Issue No.3 & 4:

The revenue challenged the deletion of software expenses and disallowance of an amount. The CIT(A) had deleted the addition, considering the expenditure on antivirus software as revenue in nature. The Tribunal agreed with the CIT's decision and dismissed the appeal, as the expenditure was on software, not a capital asset.

Issue No.5 & 6:

The revenue disputed the deletion of an addition made under section 40A(9) of the Income Tax Act. The CIT(A) deleted the addition, and the Tribunal found that the expenditure was on the contribution to the employees' recreation club. The Tribunal upheld the CIT's decision, as there was no contrary order. The revenue's appeal was dismissed.

In summary, the revenue's appeal was dismissed in the case where the CIT(A) had justified the deletion of additions to the total income of the assessee. The Tribunal upheld the decisions related to the addition of an amount post-settlement of claims, the deletion of software expenses, and the disallowance of an amount. The revenue's challenge to the deletion of the addition under section 40A of the Income Tax Act was also rejected.
