The assessee has claimed labour expenses of ₹ 11.01 lakhs, out of which the sum of ₹ 9.14 lakhs have been paid by cash.

Further, there was difference with regard to value added tax amount paid by the assessee. Accordingly, the Assessing Officer has determined the value added tax amount payable at the year end at ₹ 1,92,087.
