....EMS was maintaining its accounts on cash basis. At the stage of remand proceedings, AO did not provide opportunity to assessee to file the copies of accounts, copy of return, profit and loss account and balance-sheet of AEMS. Ld. CIT(A) after considering the submission of assessee and remand report deleted the addition made by AO by observing as under:- "4.1 With regard to disallowance of Rs. 37,66,311 paid to M/s Alliance Engineering & Marketing Services, Proprietor Satish Chawla, it is seen that part of the commission pad is reflected in the return of income of Sri Satish Chawla and balance is reconciled as being difference due to system of accounting followed by ape and recipient. The fact of no response on late response in compliance of notice u/s. 133(6) cannot be the basis of disallowance when the receipt is reflected in return of income of recipient. The payment of commission is made after deduction of income tax and charging of service tax. The commission was paid for sales promotion and is linked to sales effected by commission agent. The AO is directed to delete this addition." The Revenue, being aggrieved, is in appeal before us. 6. Ld. DR before us submitted that t....

.... Therefore, the parties released the payments to assessee after deducting the late delivery charges. As such, no payment of whatsoever was made on account of late delivery charges as claimed by AO in his assessment order. In fact assessee failed to deliver the goods on time to the parties due to nonavailability of raw materials. Thus, the delay occurred which resulted losses to the assessee in the form of late delivery charges deducted by the concerned parties. 10.1 The assessee in support of its claim also produced the copies of the purchase orders on sample basis wherein the date of delivery of the goods was specified which is placed on pages 80 to 91 of the paper book. Similarly, the assessee also produced the details of the payment made by the parties, wherein the amount of late delivery charges was deducted. The copy of sales made by the assessee and the amount of late delivery charges deducted by the parties are placed on pages 93 to 102 of the paper book. The AO during the course of remand proceedings did not ask for the party-wise details who have deducted late delivery charges from such payments. Therefore, the observation of AO in the remand report that party-wise detail....

....e by assessee. We also further note that the necessary details in connection with late delivery charges was duly furnished before Authorities Below as discussed above. But AO in remand proceedings has not pointed out any defect in the submission made by assessee. The AO in remand proceedings has taken the stand that party-wise detail of late delivery charges was not filed by assessee, without point out any defect on the submissions filed by assessee before him. As the AO has not pointed out any defect in the submission made by the assessee at the time of assessment proceedings as well as remand proceedings, we feel that addition has been made by AO on his surmise and conjecture. Further, we also find that assessee has furnished details of invoice against which late delivery charges was deducted and which are placed on pages 92 to 102 of the paper book. In this regard, Ld. DR before us has not pointed out any defect in the finding of Ld. CIT(A). In this view of the matter, we do not find any reason to interfere in the order of Ld. CIT. We hold accordingly. The ground raised by Revenue is dismissed. 13. Next issue raise raised by Revenue in ground No.3 is that Ld. CIT(A) erred in de....
