....rma along with Shri Anup Khandelwal, learned Counsel for the assessee. The crux of arguments on behalf of the Revenue is in support to the assessment order whereas the learned Counsel for the assessee defended the impugned order. 2.1 We have considered the rival submissions and perused the material available on record. The facts, in brief, are that the assessee derived income from trading of machinery parts and herbal products, declared income of Rs. 3,14,448/- in his return filed on 26.9.2009.

On this pretext, the appellant has also filed copy of bank account of M/s. Altos Enterprise Ltd. and reconciliation of entries by which the A.O. disallowed in the order.

In Shri Renukaswara Rice Mills vs. ITO (2005) 93 TTJ 912 (Ban) where the assessee paid directly to the bank account of the customer by availing banking route, it was held that the payee fulfilled the criteria of ensuing the objects of introduction of S....
