Coffee hulling and curing charges incurred to process raw coffee beans into marketable coffee were held allowable as business expenditure under section 37(1) because the assessee produced ledger extracts, invoices and bank statements, and the work formed part of its regular business activity; the disallowance as unexplained expenditure was therefore deleted.
