In AY 2003-04, the sum of Rs. 90,37,605/- claimed by the assessee as product improvement expenses was treated as capital expenditure by the Revenue. Learned CIT(A) allowed the relief, against which, Revenue was in appeal. However, the ITAT, vide order dated 28th August, 2012 rendered in ITA No.1619 to 1621/Del/2010, upheld the order of the CIT(A) and dismissed the Revenue's appeal. Similar view is followed in AY 2004- 05, 2005-06 & 2006-07 and thereafter, in AY 2007-08. In view of the above orders of the ITAT in preceding five years, we do not find any justification to interfere with the order of learned CIT(A) in this r .....

We, therefore, direct the Assessing Officer to verify the assessee's contention that in the subsequent year, the income of Rs. 88,87,668/- has been offered by way of reversal of the entry of expenditure. If it is so, he will give the consequential effect i.e., such reversal would not be treated as income of the assessee in that year. With this direction, ground No.2 of the Revenue's appeal is allowed. 10. Ground No.3 of the Revenue's appeal reads as under:- "The ld.CIT(A) erred on facts and in law in deleting the addition amounting to Rs. 10,79,660/- capitalization of licence fee paid to M/s Nuance Communication." 11.
