of <h1>ITAT Appeals Highlight Importance of Statutory Compliance & Proper Expense Calculation</h1> <h3>Walker Chandilok & Co. LLP Versus ACIT Circle-61 (1) New Delhi</h3> Walker Chandilok & Co. LLP Versus ACIT Circle-61 (1) New Delhi - TMI Issues:1. Disallowance of TDS payable2. Disallowance of electricity expenses3. Disallowance of interest u/s 40(b) of the ActAnalysis:1. Disallowance of TDS Payable:The assessee appealed against the disallowance of TDS payable amounts for two assessment years. The CIT(A) confirmed the disallowance stating that the amounts were not paid during the relevant years due to the cash system of accounting followed by the assessee. However, the ITAT noted that the assessee had paid the TDS amounts within the due date prescribed by the Act. Referring to past decisions and the consistent cash system followed by the assessee, the ITAT allowed the appeal, emphasizing that the TDS payables were proper and the additions made by the Revenue were unjustified.2. Disallowance of Electricity Expenses:The disallowance of a portion of electricity expenses for office premises was contested by the assessee. The ITAT observed that the Assessing Officer had ignored the evidence provided by the assessee and made an estimated disallowance without proper basis. Citing previous favorable decisions for the assessee, the ITAT allowed the appeal, stating that the disallowance lacked supporting evidence and the issue had already been decided in favor of the assessee in earlier years.3. Disallowance of Interest u/s 40(b) of the Act:Regarding the disallowance of interest paid to a partner of the firm, the ITAT noted that the partnership deed clearly allowed for such interest payments. Referring to a previous Tribunal decision, the ITAT directed the issue to be sent back to the Assessing Officer for calculating the interest payable to the partner in accordance with the provisions of section 40(b)(iv) of the Income Tax Act. The ITAT partially allowed the appeal, emphasizing the need for correct calculation of interest as per the partnership deed and statutory provisions.In conclusion, the ITAT partially allowed the appeals, highlighting the importance of adhering to statutory provisions, considering past decisions, and ensuring proper calculation of expenses and interest payments as per the law.
