On verifying the legal position, we find that the addition u/s.40a(ia) of the Act can be made if both the conditions are satisfied in respect of applicability of TDS under chapter XVII B and tax was not deducted by the assessee. In the present case, the assessee had deducted TDS at a lower rate, on perusing the case laws and decisions relied by the ld. counsel. We found that expenses are not liable to be disallowed u/s.40(a)(ia) of the Act on account of short deduction of tax at source. The assessee has further complied with both the limbs of applicability of provisions by deducting TDS on payments and depositing the same with the Government, which is not disputed by the Assessing Officer. We are of the opinion, that if any difference in strategy of taxability or nature of payment arises, in such circumstances alternatively, the Assessing Officer can treat the assessee as defaulter u/s.201 of the Act but not by invoking provisions u/s.40(a)(ia) of the Act.

Applying the principles of law of Jurisdictional High Court. We are of the opinion that such expenditure has to treated as revenue expenditure and we direct the Assessing Officer to allow the deduction accordingly. The ground of the assessee is allowed. 7.
