Disallowance of remuneration to directors and relatives under section 40A(2)(b) was deleted because the Assessing Officer did not benchmark the payment against fair market value and relied instead on an earlier-year comparison and an arbitrary 10% increase, despite accepted past scrutiny assessments and undisputed services.
