Political contribution deductions require assessee-specific proof before cash-back allegations can justify disallowance or unexplained-money additions...
Disallowance at 2% of total labour expenditure - CIT-A deleted the addition partly - The CIT(A) observed the claim of deleting entire disallowance is not acceptable in view of holistic view considering the facts on the issue also clearly demonstrate that there was no evidence or adverse material against the books of the assessee to hold that the payments made to all these four entities are not genuine. Therefore, we do not accept the findings of CIT(A) in confirming the addition on the basis of ad hoc estimation and restricting the disallowance at 2% as against the 4% as held by AO, in our opinion, is not justified. - AT
