First, we decide the appeal of the assessee for the assessment year 2004-05 in ITA.No. 90/Ahd/2009. 3.

..... es incurred by the assessee are excessive. It was the submission that the matter may be restored back to the file of the A.O. for a fresh decision after allowing the assessee reasonable opportunity to establish his case regarding reasonableness of the payment made by the assessee. 8. Ld. D.R. supported the orders of authorities below. 9. We have considered the rival submissions, perused the material on record and have gone through the orders of authorities below. We find that it is noted by the A.O. in para 5.1 o the assessment order that the assessee was asked to prove reasonableness of payment made on account of vehicle rent but the assessee failed to offer any satisfactory explanation or any comparison of other person in this regard. Ld. CIT(A) has stated in his order that Income tax Disarmament hires best of cars for less than Rs.25,000/- per month which also includes maintenance and driver's salary and, therefore, the payment made by the assessee for vehicle hiring is excessive. In our considered opinion, one more opportunity may be allowed to the assessee in the interest of justice to prove its case that the payment made by it to the related person for hiring the car .....
