Though the amount was credited to her account in the books of accounts of the assessee, the payment was not made to her and before making the payment and filing the return of income, the assessee had obtained the form 15G and forwarded to the Ld. CIT. Since the recipient was not having taxable income, obtaining form 15G before making the payment would be sufficient compliance and hence, we hold that the addition u/s 40(a)(ia) of the Act does not attract.
It is an important aspect to be examined whether Recipient- Assessee has directly paid tax or has no liability of tax at all. Since this aspect was not examined by Assessing Authority, therefore, in our view, Tribunal has rightly remanded matter to Assessing Authority to examine this aspect.
