....assessment year. 5. Before us, the ld. counsel submitted that assessee has given the details for provision of waste disposal expenses and in the earlier years assessee has paid to the third parties for the effluent treatment and waste disposal but from this year assessee had installed its own plant. However till 31st March, 2010 the production/functioning could not be started due to technical glitches. Looking to the past expenditure and nature of expenses likely to be incurred, assessee made provision to Rs. 84,96,600/-. He further submitted that, this provision has been credited back to the profit and loss account in the assessment year 2011-12 and offered it as income and in support he filed profit and loss account of succeeding year including the accounts wherein amount has been credited back on 24-12-2010 for the same amount of Rs. 84,81000/-. Thus, he submitted that this amount has finally been credited to income and tax rate for previous year being the same, therefore, no adverse inference should be drawn.

....ns, ground no. 1 raised by the assessee is partly allowed for statistical purposes. 9. Similarly in ground no. 2 relating to provision for processing charges of Rs. 42,95,509/-, once again no such details of the working of the expenditure has been provided nor any such details of basis of provision, hence the estimate of provision cannot be ascertained consequently such a provision cannot be allowed. However, this amount of provision has been credited back in the next year. Accordingly, AO is directed to verify the same if the same has been credited back. Thus, similar direction is given on this issue also and consequently, ground nos. 2 and 3 are treated as partly allowed for statistical purposes. 10. With regard to non-allowance of provision of Rs. 5,40,000/- made for sales return, it has been pointed out that the same has been disallowed by the Tribunal in the earlier year. 11. The brief facts are that the assessee has created a provision for sales return on estimate basis of Rs. 5,40,000/- on some perceived loss of sales return and some hypothetical assumption of principles of prudence. In the earlier year similar disallowance has been upheld by the Tribunal in A.Y. 20....

The Ld.

....1 to 6 is set aside to the file of A.O. 17. Ground no. 7 relates to non-allowance of provision of Rs. 12,00,000/- made sales return is similar to the ground for A.Y. 2010-11, in view of the finding given above, this ground is dismissed. 18. Lastly ground no. 8, the assessee has raised that the ld. CIT(A) ought to have reduced the income of the year as it has increased its profit by taking the credit of provision written back in A.Y. 2011-12 of Rs. 84,81000/- and Rs. 42,96,600/-, as it was not allowed deduction in A.Y. 2010-11. Since we have already directed the A.O.to examine this issue and reduce the income for A.Y. 2011-12 by these amounts as same has not been allowed as deduction for A.Y. 2010-11. 19.

.... nature would not have been appreciated or comprehended by the then AO? Further, as discussed above that, when facts were deciphered w.r.t assessee's submissions dated 02.06.2023 and appellant was asked for specific details vide this office notice dated 06.07.2023, the assessee chose not to file the specific details as thought necessary by the appellate authority to decide this appeal matter favorably. It is still not found in a position to submit the necessary facts. Hence, it is believed that, had such important information been provided at the proper forum and at right time by the Appellant Assessee the issue would not have arisen. And even when it can le now during the appellate proceedings, it is kind of evasive. Hence, such excuses are held to be a post-thought in substance, as it is not possible to verify them now w.r.t the then ground realities or facts i.e. for example whether the purchase parties in question (at that point in time) had any offices, places of business etc. outside of JSK also or whether the owners / their Manager's/CA's/AR's/Accountants etc, running the said purchase parties were all located & stuck inside of J....
