.... stage too, the position remand unchanged. 6.9. On the other hand, the appellant had furnished details of expenditure incurred which prima-facie discharges its onus. However, it is observed that some amounts have been debited under the head miscellaneous expenses without further details except the name of the person to whom payment is made. This is not contradicted by the AR of the appellant and, therefore, even if the same is vouched it cannot be said that they are amenable to cross-verification. In these circumstances it would be fair and reasonable to disallow 15% of Rs. 39,36,096/- amounting to Rs. 5,90,414/- which will take care of those disallowances which may not be fully substantiated. Accordingly, disallowance to the extent of Rs. 5,90,414/- is confirmed and the appellant gets relief of Rs. 33,45,682/-. This ground of appeal is partly allowed." 8. On appraisal of the above mentioned finding, we noticed that at the time of appellate proceeding, the assessee has submitted the necessary evidence in support of his claim. However, some of the evidences were not amenable for cross verification. After going through the evidence adduced by Ld. Representative of the ass....

....e's own case for the A.Y. 2003-04 in ITA. No.4807/M/2007, therefore, the finding of the CIT(A) is quite correct which is not liable to be interfere with at this appellate stage. Before going further, we deemed it necessary to advert the finding of the CIT(A) on record: - "5. I find merit in the contention of the appellant. The assessment for the year under consideration was made for the first time u/s 147 of the Act. Prior to that the AO had completed assessment for the A.Y.2003-04 u/s 143(3) on 16.12.2005. The issue of deduction on account of management charges was examined by the AO in that year and the deduction was disallowed for the same reasons as in the case of the current year. Further, The AO also considered the applicability of 40A(2)(b) of the Act to the payment in view of common management of the appellant company and King Prawns. My predecessor vide order dt.05.04.2007 in Appeal No. CIT(A)-IX/ACIT-9(2)/IT-269/2006-07 held that the appellant had utilized services of King Prawns for developing the infrastructural facility for its wind farm activities.

.... King Prawns Limited for developing the infrastructure facilities for its wind farm activities. It is not disputed by the AO that the said M/s King Prawn had never rendered any services to the appellant company. The only objection according to him was that the said M/s King Prawn being the company carrying on the business of "Trading and Manufacture of Prawns, Fish and Salt it had no experience in "Generation of Power". The AO has not brought on record any material to show that said King Prawns had never rendered such services. May it be true that apart from the services of the said King Prawns some other services might have been required, nevertheless it is not a case of the AO that the services actually rendered were only make belief. It may also be true that the said King Prawns was incurring losses but that itself would not be the ground for disallowance of such expenses in the hands of the appellant company. Further AO has not disputed the fact that the principal sanction was given to the said King Prawns for setting up of such project which also indicate that the said King Prawn was having the requisite capabilities to set up such project and therefore the AO should have take....

....Ltd. has spent about Rs. 12 lakhs in respect of its agreement with the assessee. 7 Under these circumstances, we uphold the order of the CIT(Appeals) wherein the disallowance is restricted to Rs. 10 lakhs." 14. Since the matter of controversy has already been adjudicated by the Hon'ble ITAT in the assessee's own case for the A.Y. 2003-04 in ITA. No. 4807/M/2007 and the Hon'ble CIT has decided the matter of controversy on the basis of the said decision, hence, we are of the view CIT(A) has decided the matter of controversy judiciously and correctly which is not liable to be interfere at this appellate stage. Accordingly, this issue is decided in favour of the assessee against the revenue. ISSUE NO. 2:- 15. Issue no. 2 is in connection with the allowance of claim u/s 80-IA of the Act by CIT(A).

....ities of transmission and distribution of power, set up after 1.4.1999, as eligible activities for fiscal incentives available to infrastructure units. I am sanguine that this proposal will facilitate the restructuring and rehabilitation of the State Electricity Boards." Thus it is seen that the legislative intention was to afford the tax benefit to all undertakings which were engaged in any of the three activities. We also notice that the clauses (a) and (b) of sub. Sec. 4(iv) to sec. 80IA was introduced with effect from 1.4.2000 and clause (c) was introduced only with effect from 1.4.2005, i.e., they were not introduced in one go. Accordingly, in our view, the three clauses, referred above are mutually exclusive to each other. Our view finds support from the decision of the Jaipur Bench of the Hon'ble ITAT in the case of DCIT Vs. Maharaja Shree Umaid Mills Ltd., reported in (2009) 29 SOT 278, wherein the has observed as under:- "These three types of undertakings referred to in the said sub-clauses (a), (b) and (c) are different and independent of each other.

Paragraph 39.3.2 of the said circular explains the amendment brought in by Finance Act, 1999 by inserting sec. 80IA of the Act. For the sake of convenience, we extract below the relevant portions of the Circular, referred above. "39.3.2 To augment transmission and distribution of power in the country, similar benefits are also extended to undertakings setting up new transmission or distribution lines on or after 1-4-1999 on profits derived there from, as are available for generation or generation and distribution of power.

....(b) and the proviso there under, would be that the deduction u/s 80IA of the Act shall be allowed in respect of the profits derived from transmission or distribution of power through the new network. Had the intention of the parliament was to give deduction only to the undertaking which undertakes the work of laying network of new transmission or distribution lines and not to the undertaking which transmits or distributes the power, then clause (b) would have been worded accordingly and there would have been no necessity to insert a proviso for the said purpose. 13. In view of the foregoing discussions, we are not able to agree with the view entertained by the Ld CIT(A) with regard to the proviso to clause (b) of sec. 80IA(4)(iv) of the Act. Accordingly, we set aside the order of ld CIT(A) and hold that the assessee is eligible for deduction u/s 80IA(4)(iv)(b) of the Act in respect of the profits derived from distribution of power though the new network." 17. On seeing the facts and circumstances of the present case which is quite similar to the decision of the Hon'ble ITAT in the case of Kinfra Exports Promotion (supra), we are of the view that the CIT(A) has rightly a....

The contention of the assessee is that the assessee has received the amount of Rs. 3,46,80,000/- as advance against transmission charges from M/s. Neg Micon (India) P. Ltd. The work could not be completed before the 31.03.2006.

It may further be stated that MIS. NEG MICON had thrust further responsibility upon us to the effect that we will be supervising the work and ensure that work is carried on in a satisfactory manner and up to the mark by these contractors even in the respect of work of the Mis. NEG MICON. Since these bills were just routed through they were neither accounted as expenses nor as income in our books. We may clarify that whatever bill we were receiving for MIS.

The AO however, in para 7.3 at page 5 & 6 of the assessment order has rejected assessee's contention holding as under: "That though during the course assessment proceedings the assessee submitted bitts issued by parties to the assessee and corresponding bills raised by the assessee to MIS. NEG MICON From a perusal of the bills it is seen that parties have raised invoices in the name of the assessee and the assessee h payment made to the assessee itself, it is seen that MIS. NEG MICON has deducted TDS on the payment made to the assessee on the bills raised by it. However, the assessee has not deducted any TDS on the payments made to the4 sub-contractors. Since the assessee has not claimed these as expenses, the payments made to subcontractors do not come under the purview of section 40(a)(ia) of the Act. However, they are receipts of t....

....laimed by assessee or it has been claimed by MIS. NEG MICON. Claim for TDS amount deducted on the above said payment, to some extent, will throw light on this issue. In the absence of any evidence supporting the claim of the assessee, it will be difficult for the tax authorities to accept the contention of the assessee. 25. At the same time, the assessee cannot be taxed on receipt to which it is not entitled to. Hence, we are of the view, the assessee may be provided with one more opportunity to substantiate its submissions with any credibility evidence. Accordingly, we set aside the order passed by the CIT(A) on this issue and restore the same to the file of the Assessing Officer for examining it afresh. ISSUE NO. 3:- 23. Issue no. 3 is in connection with the interest in view of the provision u/s 220(2) of the Act which is squarely in nature and nowhere required for any adjudication. ITA. NO. 1385/M/2012:- 24.

Under this issue the assessee has challenged the confirmation of the disallowance of Rs. 5,90,414/- towards site management development. It is necessary to advert the finding of the CIT(A) in this regard: - "6.7 I have perused the assessment order, remand report as well as counter comments on remand report of the appellant. Since the disallowance were made without bringing any adverse material on record or by carrying out adequate enquiries the matter was remanded to the AO to conduct enquiry u/s 250(4) on them. 6.8. The appellant in addition to what it had provided during assessment proceedings had offered to produce whatever further evidences required to substantiate its claim which was not called by the AO. Thus, in spite of having the mandate given by the CIT(A) vide his letter dated 18.11.2010 to examine the records and conduct further enquiry the AO submitted a remand report which is no different from he position as it existed at the assessment stage.
