Case Law Details
Jaykumar Mangilal Nagori Vs ITO (ITAT Pune)
It is indisputable that the assessee could not lead any evidence to demonstrate that the user of the car was restricted only to business purposes and did not percolate for personal use. Even the auditor has also mentioned that the personal element in vehicle expenses could not be ignored. This shows that the car was partly used for business and partly for personal purpose. In such circumstances, disallowance of some percentage of the expenses in connection with the running of car is warranted. Keeping into consideration the peculiarity of the facts and circumstances of case under consideration, I am of the considered opinion that the ends of justice would meet adequately if the disallowance is restricted to 15% of such expenses and allowance instead of 30% as sustained in the first appeal. I order accordingly.
