Disallowance made by AO under section 40(a)(ia) for non deduction of TDS on discount/rebate allowed to dealers/distributors on sale of products was not justified as there was no element of work as defined under clause (iv) of Explanation to section 194C and AO had not brought on record any material for deduction of TDS under section 194H that the dealers/distributors were simply acting as intermediaries to facilitate sale of products to end users so as to infer a principal–agent relationship.
Settlement received from the Government of India was not coming under the purview of the business income as there was no business during the period and income which had not accrued to assessee could not be termed as business income.
