ACIT Vs MP Warehousing and Logistics Corporation (ITAT Indore)
The case of ACIT Vs MP Warehousing and Logistics Corporation, adjudicated by ITAT Indore, pertains to the deduction claimed under section 35AD of the Income Tax Act. The appeal raised by the Revenue challenges the decision of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) favoring the assessee regarding the disallowance of deduction.
The appeal revolves around the disallowance of deduction under section 35AD by the Assessing Officer (AO), which was subsequently challenged by the assessee before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) (CIT(A)). The grounds of appeal raised by the Revenue highlight various discrepancies perceived in the CIT(A)’s decision, including the determination of income from specified business, verification of expenses, and the nature of expenditure booked under different heads.
Specifically, the AO contested the claim of deduction under section 35AD, citing issues related to the usage of warehouses for storing commodities other than agricultural produce, the absence of detailed verification regarding expenditure, and discrepancies in reporting income from specified business activities. However, the CIT(A) ruled in favor of the assessee, emphasizing the lack of concrete evidence supporting the AO’s assertions and considering the details provided by the assessee.
During the proceedings before the Tribunal, arguments were presented by both parties, with the Departmental Representative (DR) and the Authorized Representative (AR) providing their respective interpretations of the facts and legal provisions. The Tribunal reviewed the submissions, examined the relevant records, and considered precedents set in previous years’ cases involving similar issues.
