    <title>Assessment partly modified: repair-and-maintenance disallowance cut to 10%, interest addition deleted, vehicle depreciation allowed; housing loan interest dismissed</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=92994</link>
    <description>ITAT upheld in part and modified parts of the assessment. It reduced the AO/CIT(A) disallowance of repair-and-maintenance expenses from 30% to 10% due to lack of vouchers and potential personal use, concluding a 10% disallowance to be reasonable. The Tribunal directed deletion of the addition characterized as interest on delayed service-tax payment for want of supporting material, while otherwise confirming related disallowances. The Tribunal sustained the disallowance of a claimed business-promotion gift (vehicle) but held that the vehicle, having been purchased in the assessee&#039;s name, attracts depreciation under the Act and directed allowance of depreciation at statutory rates. A claim for deduction of housing-loan interest was dismissed for non-claim and lack of evidence.</description>
