AY 2007-08 vide ITA No.1330/Del/2012 and AY 2008-09 vide ITA No.4743/Del/2012. That Hon'ble Jurisdictional High Court has upheld the order of the ITAT for AY 2007-08 vide judgment dated 10th December,2013 in ITA No.313/2013. Respectfully following the same, we uphold the order of learned CIT(A) and reject ground No.1 of the Revenue's appeal. 4. Ground No.2 of the Revenue's appeal reads as under:- "Whether the ld.CIT(A) has erred on facts and in law in deleting the addition of Rs. 4,57,253/- made on account of capitalization of license fee paid to M/s Nuance Communication ignoring the fact that the license fee paid by the assessee company to M/s Nuance Communication treating the same to be intangible asset and being in the nature of roya .....

There is no question of making allowance for the reason that the expenditure has been reversed in later year." 8. At the time of hearing before us, it is stated by the learned DR that learned CIT(A) has allowed the relief following his own order for AY 2008-09 which is reversed by the ITAT in ITA No.4743/Del/2012. She, therefore, submitted that the order of learned CIT(A) on this point should be reversed. 9. Learned counsel for the assessee, on the other hand, fairly admitted that the order of learned CIT(A) on this issue for AY 2008-09 has been reversed by the ITAT but he submitted that the facts of the year under appeal are altogether different. In AY 2008-09, the A .....

Thus, net amount of provision for cost of content on which TDS has not been deducted is Rs. 5,92,61,418/-." 11. From the above discussion, it is evident that the only reason for making the disallowance was failure of the assessee to deduct the tax as per the provisions of Section 40(a)(ia). The assessee has claimed before the learned CIT(A) as well as before us that the assessee did deduct the tax at source and deposited the same with the Government of India be .....
