The provision of Rs. 18,00,000/- in Nova Space was not called for.

Rs. 3,79,886/- in FY 2011-12 and therefore it is the case of the Assessee that merely because the Assessee has not been able to spend the entire provision in the subsequent year it can not be said that the entire provision for the expenses is contingent and un ascertain able. The Assessee further contends that since entire pending work was not completed till 31/3/2012, the balance provisions was still outstanding in the books of account as per the statement filed by the AR.

ITO (2012-TIOL 159 ITAT MUM) wherein it is categorically held that in a case where the project is regarded as complete and all the receipts from the project are considered for taxation, provision for expenses which are yet to be incurred need to be allowed as a deduction while computing the profits chargeable to tax. If the same are not allowed, the assessee will not be able to claim deduction in future when the expenses are actually incurred because in the said years the assessee will not have any receipts from the project to set them off against the expenditure.

....rther from the paper book submitted before me I find that the Assessee had submitted the copies of Tax Invoices, bank statements highlighting the payments to suppliers by Account payee cheques and the available confirmations. The Assessing officer while disallowing the purchases has vehemently relied on the appearance of the name of the suppliers on the list of suspicious dealers on the website of the Sales Tax Department of Maharashtra. Audited books of accounts and the Books results i.e Profit and Loss Account and Balance sheet of the Assessee have been accepted by the Assessing officer without pointing out any discrepancy or deficiency in the same. Facts of the case before me are squarely covered by the decision of Hon. Bombay High Court in the case of Babulal C. Borana VS. ITO (2006 Bombay High Court) 282 ITR 251 wherein it is categorically held that If the Assessee's sales are accepted there is no reason or legal basis to deny the corresponding purchases in re absence of rejection of books of accounts and book results.
