....rs to be genuine and no IDS is required to be made. In respect of balance of commission, appellant has made the provision for commission on the basis, of sales made during the year, but the payment has not been made in the current year. Appellant has contended that provision has been made as per the past experience as sales have been effected during the year and commission has been paid in subsequent years. Appellant in respect of commission of Rs.A,73,500/- from Sharhe Sadar, Rs. 49,774/- in respect of Egyptian Promotion and Rs. 4,06,445/- in respect of System Engineering has submitted the copy of debit note, 15CA & 15CB and no PE certificate for which payment has been made in subsequent year. As appellant has made the provision on the safe effected during the year and payment has been subsequently made and these parties have no PE in India and services have been rendered outside India, no disallowance is called for in respect of above parties. As regard to commission payment in respect of Rs.l,03,400/- from Anurag Khunteta appellant has submitted copy of Form I6A showing that the TDS has already been deducted.

....e by the AO for a sum of Rs. 23,85,408.00 out of the total addition of Rs. 29,61,337.00 made by the AO. In other words the balance amount of Rs. 5,75,929.00 was confirmed by the learned CIT (A) on the reasoning that the assessee failed to furnish the details of the parties and the services rendered by such parties. 8.2 Nevertheless, the learned AR before us at the time of hearing requested to restore the matter to the file of the AO and assured to file the requisite details in support of the claim of the assessee. However we find that the matter before us pertains to the assessment year 2013-14 which was decided by the AO dated 29 December 2015 and subsequently the learned CIT (A) has passed the order dated 17th February 2016. The assessee before the authorities below failed to furnish the details of the parties despite having several opportunities. Even now before us the matter has been listed 16 times prior to the present date of hearing but the assessee has not brought anything on record about the details of such parties after filing the appeal on 4th April 2018. Thus it is transpired that it is very unlikely that the assessee shall be in a position to furnish the neces....

....nterest paid @ 12% amounting to Rs. 23,13,140/- on the advances given for intangible assets to H.L. Pharmaceutical South Korea and added to the total income of the assessee. 10. Aggrieved assessee has filed appeal before the ld. CIT(A). The ld. CIT(A) has dismissed the appeal of the assessee. The relevant part of the decision of the ld. CIT(A) is reproduced as under:- "4.3. I have carefully considered the facts of the case, assessment order and submission of the appellant. The AO has made disallowance of Rs. 23,13,140/- u/s. 36(l)(iii) on the interest free advance of Rs. 1,92,76,000/-of M/s. H. L Pharma Co., Korea. The appellant has submitted that the capital advance of Rs. 1,92,76,000/- was made to M/s. H. L. Pharma Co. against the purchase of technical know how for business purpose and out of own fund, therefore, provision ejection 36(l)(iii) is not applicable. The appellant 'has submitted that advance was given to H.L. Pharma for the purpose of acquiring technical know how in order to enable the applicant to manufacture machinery and sell them in domestic and international market. As these advances were provided exclusively for business purpose only and on commer....

....pitalized as the same is attributable to capital asset. The view taken by the AO was subsequently confirmed by the learned CIT (A). 15.1 Before we touch upon the issue raised by the authorities below, it is pertinent to note that the own fund (Rs. 3,91,81,000.00) of the assessee exceeds the amount of advances. This fact can verified from the audited financial statement which is available on pages 10 of the paper book. Besides the above, it is also significant to note that the assessee has shown receipt of interest free loans and advances amounting to Rs. 3,10,00,000.00 which can be verified from the financial statements placed on 15 of the paper book. Thus the own fund of the assessee along with the interest free loans received by it aggregates to a sum of Rs. 7,01,81,000.00 which is in excess of the advance given to the party for an amount of Rs. 1,92,76,148.00 only. Accordingly a presumption can be drawn that the own fund of the assessee has been used for advancing money to the party as discussed above for acquiring the technical know-how. In other words, the borrowed fund has not been used for advancing the sum of Rs. 1,92,76,148.00 to the party. 15.2 In holdin....
