    <title>Ad-hoc disallowance of travel and conveyance expenses impermissible where business necessity and bona fide reimbursements are established</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=92279</link>
    <description>ITAT allowed the appeal of the Appellant and set aside the ad-hoc disallowance of travelling and conveyance expenditure imposed by the AO and sustained by the CIT(A), holding that ad-hoc disallowance is impermissible where business necessity and bona fide reimbursement practice are established. The Tribunal found the expenditure-largely employee reimbursements for medical-representative travel-was a legitimate business expense, supported by employee declarations, an approvals system and audited books with no adverse findings; even alleged excess reimbursements, if bona fide, remain deductible in the hands of the assessee. Grounds of the Appellant were sustained and Revenue&#039;s disallowance was rejected.</description>
