In view of above, we are of the considered opinion that the provisions of section 40(a)(ia) of the Act is not applicable in the instant case.

CIT(A) after considering the submission of assessee has deleted the addition made by the AO. Being aggrieved by this order of Ld. CIT(A) Revenue is in appeal before us. 6. Before us both the parties relied on the orders of Authorities Below as favourable to them. 7. We have heard the rival submissions of both the parties and perused the materials available on record. It is the admitted fact that the assessee has no deducted any TDS on the impugned expenses on the ground that the relevant expenses were capitalized as work in progress. Since the expenses has not been claimed in the profit and loss account, the question of any disallowance under section 40(a)(ia) of the Act does not arise.

Accordingly, the AO has disallowed proportionate expenses of ₹ 49,0 .....
