..... . ABN Amro, Bajaj Capital and Reliance Capital as to whether they have included this amount in their taxable income or not. If the receipts are accounted in their taxable income, then no disallowance is to be made in the hands of the assessee. This ground of appeal is allowed for statistical purposes. 6.

Therefore, the Assessing Officer disallowed a sum of ₹ 3,12,049/-. When these expenditures are considered in the light of other disallowances made by the Assessing Officer, i.e., estimated household expenditure and foreign travel expenditure etc., then it would reveal that instead of making addition under each item, the ld. Assessing Officer ought to have adopted a uniform policy for making an ad-hoc disallowance. He should not have identified each item, i.e. credit card expenditure, household expenditure, etc., because all these expenditures will be taken care of by .....
