Thus, neither the genuineness of the expenditure is doubted nor it is the case of the revenue that these are unverifiable. Thus, we do not find any reason to hold that these expenditures are to be disallowed. Accordingly, we allow the expenditure claimed by the assessee which has been debited in the profit and loss account against the business income. Thus, grounds raised by the assessee are treated allowed.

This ground of appeal is therefore decided against the appellant. As regards Ground no.2 taken by the appellant, I have carefully considered the assessment order and the submissions made for the appellant. In so far as the allowance of expenditure is concerned the AO has already allowed the interest expenditure as a nexus in earning that income. Therefore, in so far as the assessee was able to prove his claim, the Assessing Officer has allowed the deduction. However, as regards all other expenses claimed by the appellant, in the absence of any material produced either before the AO or before me, I do not find any reason to vitiate the order of the AO.

CIT(A) has been disapproved/ rebutted by the Ld. Counsel by producing the certified copy of order sheet entries of the first appellate proceedings, wherein, the Ld. CIT(A) himself had asked for the details of business income and expenditure. In response to the said order sheet entry dated 03.07.2013, the assessee had filed these details on 20th August, 2013. Further, from the perusal of the paper book submitted before us, it is seen that assessee had furnished copy of Ledger account of medical income giving date wise details and income earned along with the copy of certificate of Life Membership of IMA and Registration Certificate allotted by MCI.
