Under these circumstances, we are of the considered view that the matter need to be restored back to the file of A.O. for limited verification as to whether the entire amount of billing has been credited to P & L A/c as income and suffered taxation or not, and in case, if 5% of the amount of receivable is merely set-off against the creditor instead of showing receivable in the balance-sheet, will not have any repercussion on the income chargeable to tax, provided 100% billing amount (including 5% receivable of the last fortnight aggregating to Rs.22,02,368/- ) was offered to tax by the assessee in return of income and due taxe....
