Issues Involved:
- Appeal against consolidated order of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) for Assessment Years 2011-12 and 2012-13.
- Disallowance under Section 36(1)(iii) of the Act.
- Disallowance under Section 40(a)(ia) of the Act.
- Disallowance under Section 40A(3) of the Act.
- Disallowance of expenses on "Income Tax Provisions-FBT."

Issue 1: Disallowance under Section 36(1)(iii) of the Act:
The Assessee challenged the disallowance of Rs. 62,52,021 under Section 36(1)(iii) of the Act. The Assessing Officer disallowed the interest payment claiming it was not backed by commercial expediency. The CIT(A) granted partial relief but upheld the disallowance. The Tribunal found no fallacy in the CIT(A)'s findings as the Assessee failed to prove the commercial purpose of the advances made, leading to the dismissal of the Assessee's appeal.

Issue 2: Disallowance under Section 40(a)(ia) of the Act:
The Assessee contested the addition of Rs. 8,51,234 under Section 40(a)(ia) for non-deduction of TDS on commission payments. The Assessing Officer disallowed the amount for non-compliance with TDS provisions. The CIT(A) upheld part of the disallowance. The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision as the Assessee failed to provide evidence of TDS deduction, resulting in the dismissal of the Assessee's appeal.

Issue 3: Disallowance under Section 40A(3) of the Act:
The Assessee challenged the addition of Rs. 6,00,000 under Section 40A(3) for cash payments without justification. The Assessing Officer disallowed the amount due to lack of commercial expediency. The CIT(A) upheld the disallowance. The Tribunal found no evidence presented by the Assessee to refute the CIT(A)'s findings, leading to the dismissal of the Assessee's appeal.

Issue 4: Disallowance of expenses on "Income Tax Provisions-FBT":
The Assessee disputed the addition of Rs. 1,83,853 paid for "Income Tax Provisions-FBT." The Assessing Officer considered the payment penal and disallowed it. The CIT(A) upheld the disallowance. The Tribunal found no error in the CIT(A)'s decision and dismissed the Assessee's appeal.

The Tribunal dismissed both appeals due to the Assessee's failure to provide sufficient evidence or justification for the challenged expenses and disallowances. The Tribunal upheld the decisions of the lower authorities in each case, leading to the rejection of the Assessee's appeals for both Assessment Years 2011-12 and 2012-13.
