Consultancy fees claimed as business expense-can tax disallowance rest on survey suspicion despite invoices, contracts and bank trail? Appeal dismisse...
The dominant issue was whether the struck-off company's name should be restored to the Register of Companies. Restoration was held justified on the "just and equitable" standard because the company had fixed assets generating rental income, expressed willingness to file all financial records and complete statutory compliances, and the tax authority had issued a no-objection to restoration. Consequently, the order refusing restoration was set aside and the company's name was directed to be restored in the ROC records subject to completion of requisite compliances, and the appeal was allowed. - NCLAT
