2022 (8) TMI 294 - AT - Income TaxDelayed Employees' contribution to PF and ESI - Scope of amendment - HELD THAT:- Hon’ble jurisdictional High Court in case of Essae Taroka (P.) Ltd. [2014 (3) TMI 386 - KARNATAKA HIGH COURT] and Spectrum Consultants India (P.) Ltd. [2013 (7) TMI 414 - KARNATAKA HIGH COURT] has affirmed the view that assessee would have been entitled to deduction of employees' contribution of PF and ESI if the payment was made prior to due date of filing of the return of income u/s 139(1). In view of the judicial pronouncements cited supra, we hold that the amendment to section 36(1)(va) and 43B of the I.T. Act will not have application for the relevant assessment year, namely assessment year 2018-19. Accordingly, we direct the A.O. to grant deduction in respect of employees' contribution to PF and ESI since the assessee has made the payment before the due date of filing of return u/s 139(1) - Decided in favour of assessee.
