The generator is of the capacity of 35 KWA and keeping in view the average diesel consumption of a generator, the diesel consumption expenditure claimed is abnormally high. In view of the above the diesel expenditure claimed by the assessee is restricted to 2 lakh and balance is disallowed. The appellant in the above submission has reiterated what has been stated before the AO who has reproduced the appellant's submission in the order itself.
