The ITAT partly allowed the assessee's appeal. Travel expenses were partly disallowed by 30% considering personal element, while 70% were allowed as business expenses due to lack of documentary evidence establishing exclusive business purpose. Unexplained cash credits u/s 68 were confirmed as the assessee failed to prove identity, creditworthiness, and genuineness of transactions.

However, disallowance u/s 36(1)(iii) for interest was deleted as the assessee demonstrated availability of sufficient interest-free funds.
