Unfortunately, the Tribunal, while passing the impugned order, though noted the said argument of the assessee in paragraph 9.2, failed to take into consideration the said amount. Therefore, in our considered view, the assessee is right in contending that if ₹ 16.77 Crores was never claimed as a deduction, then obviously the said amount could not be treated as income by the assessee. On account of two orders passed by the Tribunal, the impugned order dated 12.7.2017 and the subsequent order dated 24.1.2018, which granted relief to the assessee by allowing the provision of ₹ 25.66 Crores, it appears that a confusion has arisen, as a result of which, the Assessing O .....

Whether the Tribunal was right in law in not adjudicating the main grounds of appeal raised regarding deletion of addition made by the Assessing Officer of provision of outstanding of ₹ 16,77,14,178/- ? And ii. Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal ought to have appreciated that the provision of ₹ 16,77,14,176/- was merely outstanding balance of provision originally made as on 31.3.2009 carried forward in the balance sheet from year to year and as it was neither debited in profit and loss account during the assessment year 2012-13 nor claimed as a deduction and therefore ought to have directed the deletion of the said addition? .....

For the assessment year under consideration in this appeal namely 2012-13, the assessee filed the return of income on 27.9.2012 declaring loss of ₹ 12,92,62,977/-. The assessment was completed under Section 143(3) of the Act on 27.3.2015 determining the total income at ₹ 18,40,27,900/-. The Assessing Officer, while completing the assessment, made an addition of ₹ 16,77,14,178/- being the balance sheet item, which was not claimed in the profit and loss account of the assessment year 2012-13 subsequent to disallowance of such provision of ₹ 25.66 Crores in the assessment year 2009-10.

In the said order passed by the Tribunal dated 24.1.2018, there was a direction to the Assessing Officer to allow the entire provisions towards the enhanced compensation debited in the profit and loss account for the assessment year 2009-10 to the tune of ₹ 25.66 Crores based on the fact that the enhanced compensation accrued and accordingly, the assessee provided for the same.

The second contention raised before the Tribunal was an alternate submission and what was the substantive submission was that the balance sheet item of ₹ 16.77 Crores was never claimed as a deduction by the assessee. 12.
