As rightly submitted by the learned DR, one of the reasons given by the AO for making disallowance u/s 40(a)(ia) was that the payment of freight charges was made by the assessee on account of air fare and not shipping charges and even the said air fare was not directly paid to the airlines but the same was paid to the different parties who acted as freight booking agents.
Income Tax Government hereby notifies that no deduction of tax under Chapter XVII of the said Act shall be made on the payments of the nature specified below, in case such payment is made by a person to a bank listed in the Second Schedule to the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 (2 of 1934), excluding a foreign bank, namely:-
A literal reading of sec. 195A implies that the income should be increased at the rates in force for the financial years and not the rates at which the tax is to be withheld by the assessee.

Scheme of the Act provides that after the employer deducts from the salary of the employee the tax and pays the same to the Central Government, a Tax Deduction Certificate is furnished to the employee and it is for the employee to claim before the Assessing Officer in the assessment proceedings and get a determination done and in case he succeeds before the Assessing Officer, he will be entitled to refund out of the amount of tax deducted at source by the employer.
