Tribunal upholds deletion of contingent liability provision for Shahenshah Scheme, dismissing Revenue's appeal.
The Tribunal upheld the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)'s decision to delete the addition of the provision for the "Shahenshah Scheme" as a contingent liability, aligning with previous favorable decisions for the assessee. The Tribunal found no distinguishing features and upheld the scientific basis of the provision, leading to the dismissal of the Revenue's appeal for both Assessment Years 2015-16 and 2017-18.
Issues involved: Appeal against order dated 27.05.2022 passed by Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) - 27, New Delhi for Assessment Years 2015-16 & 2017-18.
Issue 1: Treatment of provision made for "Shahenshah Scheme"
- Facts: Assessee, a company engaged in manufacturing, filed return of income for A.Y. 2015-16 declaring total income. Search operation u/s 132 of the Act was conducted, leading to notice u/s 153A and subsequent assessment with disallowance of provision for "Shahenshah Scheme" as a contingent liability.
- CIT(A) Decision: Deleted the addition based on Tribunal's decisions in favor of the assessee for previous years.
- Grounds Raised by Revenue: Challenged CIT(A)'s deletion of the addition, arguing that the provision was a contingent liability and not allowable expenditure.
- Arguments: - Revenue: Contingent liability not allowable; no basis provided for creation of provision. - Assessee: Previous Tribunal decisions in favor; no fault on CIT(A)'s part.
- Tribunal Decision: Found no distinguishing features from previous cases, upheld CIT(A)'s decision based on scientific basis of provision. No interference with CIT(A)'s order warranted.
- Result: Revenue's appeal for A.Y. 2015-16 dismissed. Decision in A.Y. 2017-18 aligned with the outcome for A.Y. 2015-16. Both appeals of Revenue dismissed.
Separate Judgment: Not applicable.
