The ITAT set aside the disallowance of freight charges, holding that mere suspicion without proof cannot justify rejecting expenses substantiated by audited accounts and vouchers. The disallowance under section 14A was deleted due to the AO's failure to record proper satisfaction before making additions. Additions based solely on Form 26AS mismatch were reversed as the assessee declared the amount in a subsequent year, preventing double taxation. The issue of carry forward losses was remitted to the AO for verification in accordance with law, with a direction to afford the assessee an opportunity of hearing. Disallowance of interest expenditure was also reversed, as the assessee had interest-free funds evidenced by loans and inventory financing, precluding blanket disallowance of finance costs. The appeal was allowed in part, with remand and deletion of certain additions.
