Political contribution deductions require assessee-specific proof before cash-back allegations can justify disallowance or unexplained-money additions...
The ITAT allowed admission of additional documentary evidence concerning intra-group services and interest on outstanding receivables, finding the materials go to the root of the controversy and require examination by the AO. The Tribunal declined to remit the matter to the DRP, holding the DRP functus officio after issuing directions under s.144C(5) and not a proper appellate forum for remand. The Tribunal set aside the final assessment and restored the matter to the AO for fresh adjudication of the transfer pricing adjustment and interest, directing the AO to verify the newly admitted evidence, afford the assessee opportunity of hearing, and pass a fresh order in accordance with law. Appeal allowed for statistical purposes.
