In the same year i.e. 2009-10 the revenue is aggrieved with the action of Ld. CIT(A) by which he had deleted the addition on account of commission paid to Director amounting to Rs. 1,07,50,748/-. The Revenue is further aggrieved in this year by the action of Ld. CIT(A) by which he had deleted a disallowance of Rs. 75,450/- made by the Assessing Officer invoking clause (ii) of Rule 8D (2) of I.T. Rules. 4. We first take up the appeal of the assessee in I.T.A.No. 1672/Del/2012. Ld. A.R. at the time of hearing submitted that the issue of payment of commission to Director was decided by the Tribunal order in the case of the assessee itself for the assessment year 2005-06 and 2006-07. In this respect, our attention was invited to paper book at page 60-71. Our specific attention was invited to para 17.3 - 17.5 at pages 69-70.

Replying to the above arguments of Ld. A.R. in respect of assessee's appeal in I.T.A.No. 1672/Del/2012 Ld. D.R. submitted that commission paid to directors was quite excessive the Ld. D.R. therefore, Assessing Officer had rightly made the additions. As regards the assessee's appeal in assessment year 2009-10 in I.T.A.No. 4563/Del/2012, the Ld. D.R. submitted that Ld. CIT(A) had already allowed appropriate relief against which Revenue is already in appeal in I.T.A.No. 4706/Del/2012. 8. Arguing revenue's appeal in assessment year 2009-10 in I.T.A.No. 4706/Del/2012, Ld. D.R. submitted that payment of commission was quite high and therefore was rightly disallowed by the Assessing Officer and Ld. CIT(A) without considering the facts of the present case, followed the earlier order of the Tribunal in the case of assessee itself in assessment year 2005-....

The AO on one hand has allowed fees written off while on the other he has disallowed the amount recoverable from the clients on account of expenses incurred.
