Case Law Details
Delhi Call Centre Private Limited Vs DCIT (ITAT Delhi)
The only objection to the allowance of depreciation by the Lower Authorities is that the assessee could not produce copy of purchase invoice of the vehicle. It is undisputed that the Department has allowed interest on vehicle loan as well as has also allowed the expenditure towards car running. Thus, in fact, it is accepted by the Department that the assessee has a vehicle which is used for the business purposes. Although, the assessee could have made efforts to obtain a copy of the purchase invoice from the hypothecating bank and produced it before the Lower Authorities, all the same, it is our considered opinion that the assessee should not be penalized for his failure to produce the purchase invoice, specially, when the Department has in principle accepted the assessee’s claim of interest on car loan as well as claim of Car running expenditure. Therefore, in view of the facts of the case, we delete this disallowance.
