..... s relating to advertisement expenses were furnished. It was also stated by the learned counsel that on these payments of advertisement expenses, TDS was deducted at source and moreover, service tax was also paid. The CD containing the text of advertisement was also produced. Considering these facts, the CIT(A) rightly held that the assessee has discharged its onus of proving that the payment to M/s ERA Advertising and Marketing Co.Pvt.Ltd. and M/s Hamara Samay T.V. News Network Pvt.Ltd. was towards actual advertisement expenses and not accommodation entries. No nfirmity in the order of CIT(A).

..... 4,68,550/-. 4. The learned CIT(A) deleted the addition with the following finding:- "20. Appellant has also filed confirmation certificate from M/s Hamara Samay T.V. News Network Pvt.Ltd., as asked by my predecessor regarding the details of the telecast of advertisement of the appellant. 21. Thus, to sum up, in none of the statements recorded before the A.O. Sh. S.K. Gupta has stated that his entire business is non genuine and all because major concerns controlled by Shri S.K. Gupta are admittedly issuing non genuine accommodation bills, it cannot be automatically presumed that all the bills issued by all the concerns of Shri S.K. Gupta are non genuine. This is more so when he has admitted that he is doing some genuine business also in the names of some of the companies. Thus, in the case of appellant, no adverse conclusion that the bills from M/s ERA Advertisement and Marketing Co.P.Ltd. and M/s Hamara Samay T.V. News Network Pvt.Ltd. are non- genuine and accommodation bills. 22. Now it has to be seen whether otherwise the appellant before AO has discharged his onus for proving the expenditure in the name of M/s ERA Advertisement and Marketing Co.P.Ltd. and M/s Hamara Sama .....

News Network Pvt.Ltd. to the appellant are in the nature of accommodation bills. Confirmation has also been issued by M/s ERA Advertisement and Marketing Co.P.Ltd. and M/s Hamara Samay T.V. News Network Pvt.Ltd. which was filed before A.O. confirming that bills are raised by them. 25. The AO has not given any such finding in his order that M/s ERA Advertisement and Marketing Co.P.Ltd. and M/s Hamara Samay T.V. News Network Pvt.Ltd. has not offered this income in their books of account. The payment of these bills has been made by the appellant through account payee cheques. Thus, the payment is also verifiable independently. 26. The only issue now remains to be verified as to whether or not services has actually been rendered by M/s ERA Advertisement and Marketing Co.P.Ltd. and M/s Hamara Samay T.V. News Network Pvt.Ltd. for which the bills under reference have been raised and payments made and as to whether or not the advertisement has actually been released by Jhankar T.V.
