....,774/- Amount as per Financial statement for the y.e. 31.03.2014 Rs. 6,88,10,325/- Difference Rs. 1,99,30,449/- On the basis of the above figures, the Ld. CIT(A) asked the assessee to show cause as to why the excess expenditure under the head "Other Expenses" shown for the financial year 2012-13 in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31.03.2014 should not be treated as its unexplained expenditure for the AY 2013-14. Also the Ld. CIT(A) noted that the assessee was not able to explain the basis for apportioning Rs. 74,16,058/- out of the "Other Expenses" of Rs. 9,95,10,344/- to its own business ; similarly, the assessee was not able to explain the basis for apportion Rs. 2,58,104/- out of the Employees Benefit Expenses. Further, it is noted by him that the assessee failed to get its accounts audited u/s 44AB of the Act, even though its total receipts including the receipt from Cigna TTK was Rs. 20,63,59,512/-.

....ount of revenue from operations has been erroneously stated in the order as Rs. 22,08,686/- instead of Rs. 24,08,686/-. Also it is explained in respect of enhancement of income by Rs. 1,99,30,449/- relating to Employee Benefit Expenses that the so-called inconsistency in the financial statement is merely on account of restatement/reclassification of expenses in the schedules to the profit and loss accounts with no impact on the profit and loss account ; the fact that the amounts in the financial statement are regrouped/reclassified has been mentioned in the Note 27 of the financial statement of FY 2013-14; further for the year ended 31.03.2013 Cigna TTK had incurred total expenditure of Rs. 76,74,162/- and net loss of Rs. 33,70,356/- ; the aforesaid amounts as appearing in the previous year column (i.e. pertaining to FY 2012-13) of the audited financial statements of 31.03.2014 is the same as amounts appearing in the audited financial statements of 31.03.2013 and accordingly the difference in the amount of Employee Benefit Expenses between the two financial statement is merely on account of restatement.

....aded by CHSI later when it had logged on to the web portal of Indian Revenue Authorities (IRA) for tax related work. * Without prejudice to the above, we wish to state that the notice dated 17 December 2018 as downloaded from the web portal of the IRA only stated that the next hearing was scheduled on 27 December 2018. The notice neither states the details required by your goodself nor the fact that an enhancement was proposed in the case of CHSI. Copy of the said notice downloaded from the web portal of IRA is enclosed as Annexure 7)." 6.1 Thus it is clear that the notice dated 17.12.2018 was issued by the Ld. CIT(A) to an old address of the assessee thereby the assessee could not comply with the said notice. Considering the above facts, we set aside the order of the Ld. CIT(A) on enhancement and restore the matter to him to make an order afresh after giving reasonable opportunity of being heard to the assessee. We direct the assessee to file the relevant accounts/documents/evidence before the Ld. CIT(A). 7. In the result the appeal filed by the assessee is allowed for statistical purposes. ITA No. 1650/MUM/2019 Assessment Year: 2013-14 8. The grounds of....

....the Ld. counsel for the assessee submits that the principle of income does not include notional income is well settled by the decision in CIT v. Calcutta Discount Co. Ltd. (1973) 91 ITR 8 (SC) and CIT v. A. Raman & Co. (1968) 67 ITR 11 (SC). Referring to the facts in the in the instant case that the assessee and Cigna TTK did not qualify as persons covered u/s 40A(2)(b) of the Act during FY 2012-13, it is stated that the transfer pricing provisions are not applicable. 12. We have heard the rival submissions and perused the relevant materials on record. Giving that the assessee received development cost for developing and transferring the initial infrastructure to Cigna TTK, the transaction is not expenditure in the hands of the assessee. For the assessee (the recipient of the amount) the provisions of specified domestic transaction would not be applicable. Further we find that (i) the vendor agreement between the assessee and Cigna TTK has been entered at cost and no income has been earned by the assessee, (ii) there is neither any evidence nor allegation that assessee has received any consideration over and above to what is mentioned in the aforesaid agreement. In Calc....
