....of the AO submitted that the Ld. CIT(A) has wrongly deleted the additions made by the AO u/s 201/201(1A) of the Act. As per the amended definition of rent under section 194I of the Act, payment made by the assessee for hoarding/display rights fall within the preview of section 194I of the Act. The Ld.

On the other hand, the Ld. Counsel for the assessee submitted that the Ld. CIT (A) has rightly decided the issue in favour of the assessee following the order dated 29.10.2014 passed by the ITAT, Mumbai in assessee's own cases ITA Nos. 4991 & 4992/M....

....r of the assessee in the aforesaid cases and the Ld. CIT(A) has decided the issue involved in the said case by following the decision of the Tribunal, we do not find any infirmity in the impugned order. We, accordingly uphold the order passed by the Ld. CIT(A) and dismiss both the grounds of appeal of the revenue. CO No. 49/MUM/2017 (Assessment Year: 2012-13) The assessee has filed the cross objection on the following grounds: 1. "On the facts and circumstances of the case and in law, the ld.
