of <h1>Tribunal allows administrative expenses & depreciation in favor of assessee</h1> <h3>Delhi Auto and General Finance Private Limited Versus DCIT, Circle 7 (1), Delhi</h3> Delhi Auto and General Finance Private Limited Versus DCIT, Circle 7 (1), Delhi - TMI Issues:1. Disallowance of Administrative Expenses2. Disallowance of Depreciation on Fixed AssetsAnalysis:1. Disallowance of Administrative Expenses:The appeal was filed against the order by the ld. CIT (Appeals) upholding the addition made by the Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax regarding the disallowance of administrative expenses totaling Rs. 48,48,892 to the returned income. The AO disallowed the entire expenditure claimed by the assessee due to the absence of revenue from business activities during the relevant assessment year. The ld. CIT (A) allowed certain expenses like statutory dues, legal charges, audit fee, and salary of some employees, while confirming the disallowance of other expenses. The Tribunal noted that in previous years, similar expenditure was allowed based on the intention of the assessee to resume business activities in the future, despite the lack of current revenue. The Tribunal highlighted that the assessee was maintaining its establishment for potential future operations, as indicated by ongoing litigation and expected compensation. Consequently, the Tribunal directed the AO to allow the expenditure claimed, ruling in favor of the assessee.2. Disallowance of Depreciation on Fixed Assets:Regarding the disallowance of depreciation on fixed assets amounting to Rs. 7,93,830, the ld. CIT (A) and AO confirmed the disallowance due to the absence of business activities during the year. However, the Tribunal emphasized that in previous years, depreciation on assets was allowed under similar circumstances. The Tribunal reasoned that since the business could not be carried out in the current year, it did not warrant a different treatment for depreciation. Therefore, the Tribunal allowed the depreciation amount claimed by the assessee. As a result, the appeal filed by the assessee was allowed, and the Tribunal directed the AO to allow both the administrative expenses and depreciation on fixed assets as claimed by the assessee.
