2015 (5) TMI 575 - AT - Income TaxDisallowance u/s 40(a)(ia) - since no additional taxes on the disallowance in question were paid by the assessee in the preceding assessment year, the assessee cannot be allowed to reduce its tax burden by claiming deduction of the said amount against taxable income of the current year by utilizing the proviso to section 40(a)(ia) as per revenue - Held that:- Ostensibly, the present claim of the assessee in the current assessment year is for deduction of ₹ 70,35,997/- in terms of the proviso to section 40(a)(ia) of the Act. There is no claim under any of the provisions covered in section 80A(4) of the Act. Therefore, invoking section 80A(4) of the Act in the present case to deny assessee’s claim is anyway not justified. So however, even if for a moment, we accept the invoking section 80A(4) of the Act by the Revenue yet it would cover a situation if multiple deductions are claimed for same profits in the same assessment year. Ostensibly, that is not the case in the present situation because there is no multiple deductions claimed by the assessee qua the impugned amount in the assessment year under consideration i.e. 2010-11. Therefore, we find that there is no relevance of section 80A(4) of the Act in order to test the efficacy of the claim for deduction of ₹ 70,35,997/- made by the assessee on the strength of the proviso to section 40(a)(ia) of the Act. Thus, this stand of the Revenue is liable to be rejected. - Decided in favour of assessee.
