..... ming deduction u/s.10A has not been fulfilled and FIRCs filed in support of the export turnover is not complete. Since, assessee claim is not substantiated, the entire amount of Rs. 6,75,96,165/- was disallowed and added to the total income returned. 4.1 Before the CIT(A), assessee submitted that this claim was wrongly shown in the computation whereas the actual claim was only Rs. 1,96,28,459/-. In support it filed the relevant certificates of FIRCs and permission from STPI and stated to have filed form 56F in support of the claim. However, Ld.

..... 96,165/- was disallowed by the AO, therefore question of enhancing the amount does not arise. The issue whether capital work in progress can be reduced or not was not an issue before the AO and this aspect was not examined at all. Since the AO put it to CIT(A), with reference to claim of Rs. 1,96,28,459/- and capital work in progress reduced in the computation, which the Ld. CIT(A) directed to be enhanced by an amount of Rs. 6,75,96,165/- , that too without giving opportunity to assessee as contended, we are of the opinion that this capital work in progress issue also requires re-examination.

..... isions, and then by virtue of RBI circular written-off the amount. Since the amount was originally offered as income, subsequent write-off is allowable as revenue expenditure, it was contended. 5.1. Without going into the merits of the claim, we are of the opinion that this claim also requires re-examination. Assessee's claim that amounts are originally offered as income, subsequently converted to equity of the subsidiary and written-off on the basis of the circulars of RBI requires examination by AO, as none of the figures are comparable on the basis of the annual reports filed before us. In order to examine the issue and to give one more opportunity to assessee to substantiate the claim, matter is restored to the file of AO with a di .....

..... sent on Remand Report to the AO. We are surprised to see that Ld. CIT(A) directing the AO to treat as capital purchase which issue not all raised by AO nor by assessee. In view of this, we modify the order of CIT(A) and direct the AO to allow the amount as revenue expenditure. Ground No. 5 & 6 are allowed. IV. Issue of audit fee Rs. 1 Lakh: 7. AO noticed that assessee paid an amount of Rs. 1 Lakh on which TDS was not done. Invoking the provisions of Section 40(a)(ia) entire amount of Rs. 1 Lakh was disallowed. Before the Ld.

..... therwise it will be kept in Inventory (Closing WIP i.e., unbilled amount). During the year as most of the works were not completed as per the specification we are not in a position to bill even though we incurred the expenditure on salaries and other things that is the reason this year increase in the inventory is around 19 Crores. The expenditure we incurred i.e., Rs. 3.32 crores for the salaries of the persons outside India, the amount we incurred for the salaries is included in increase in the inventory in the Profit & Loss account".
