The order relied upon by the assessee is dated 22.2.2006 and the present appeal pertains to the assessment year 1999- 2000, and even today the revenue could not bring any material contrary to constrain to take a different view.

In these transactions, Chase and EMGF suffered loss of 3.5. These client being reputed clients and to maintain dignity in the market, the assessee company paid this amount to them and claimed as business expenses.

Ground No.2 taken by the revenue is dismissed. Addition made on account of Deferred Guarantee Commission - HELD THAT:- As decided in BANK OF TOKYO LTD. [1993 (5) TMI 172 - CALCUTTA HIGH COURT] Revenue's contention that the accrual of the entire commission is a point of time accrual is not tenable. The contesting submissions boil down to one question whether accrual is co-eval with the pay ability, the same may be payable but may not be apportionable until the happening of an event; in the present case the expiry of the period, for, the guarantee beyond the expiry date of the previous year the right to receive for unexpired period, for, the guarantee beyond the expiry date of the previous year remains in a suspense. It may or may not fructify into an actual right to receive for the subsequent period of the term of the guarantee as the sooner determination of the guarantee is a contingency not ruled out by the agreement. It is only upon certain conditions being fulfilled, viz., the guarantee running the full course or period of the debt guaranteed, that the right to the entirety of the commission can be said to have accrued. Addition u/s 40(a)(i) - commission income paid to the outside parties - HELD THAT:- We find that the an identical issue has come up before the Tribunal in number of cases CREDIT LYONNAIS [2012 (12) TMI 640 - ITAT MUMBAI], ABU DHABI COMMERCIAL BANK LTD. & OTHS.

Before us, the ld.DR could not bring any material contrary to the findings of the Tribunal. Therefore, we have no other alternative but to dismiss the Ground No.8 taken by the revenue. Loss made on the outstanding forward contracts - HELD THAT:- We find that the issue raised by the assessee stands covered by the decision of Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Woodward Governor India P. Ltd [2009 (4) TMI 4 - SUPREME COURT] as held the loss suffered by assessee on account of fluctuations of foreign exchange as on the date of Balance Sheet is an item of expenditure under section 37(1), allowed the mark to market loss in the case of equity index/stock future as an allowable loss
