Therefore, a service provider is merely acting as an agent of the Govt., and is not entitled to claim deduction on account of service tax. Hence, on this account alone addition under sec.43B could not be made

This programme of enterprise-wide risk management was highly successful and resulted in substantial savings and structured decision-making with learnings for the company. The Board appreciated the consulting role of the Internal Audit Department which had fulfilled its role aptly described as ‘Best Practice Transfer and Risk Management’ and directed the CIA to ensure that this programme was spread to all functions of the company. The Board also directed the CIA to submit a list of top 50 risks (along with remedial measure taken and proposals for taking remedial measures, if not already undertaken) identified during the exercise every quarter. The structure of risk management within the company was thus institutionalised.
