Consultancy fees claimed as business expense-can tax disallowance rest on survey suspicion despite invoices, contracts and bank trail? Appeal dismisse...
Assessee furnished exhaustive entries and supporting documents for professional fees, all subjected to TDS, establishing genuineness of the expenses; therefore the assessing officer's adhoc 50% disallowance was unsustainable and the appellate authority erred in upholding it. On that basis the disallowance was deleted and the assessee's appeal allowed, the decision reversing the earlier finding because documentary proof and TDS deduction negated any reason to doubt the professional charges claimed.
