The learned AO/TPO/DRP erred by concluding that the Appellant failed to demonstrate that the salary costs, travelling and general office expenses were incurred for the benefit of the Assessee and no independent party would pay for the same. 4.

However, some of the evidences could not be filed before DRP/TPO by the assessee-company, which are now filed before the Tribunal through a petition for admission of the additional evidences vide petition dated 06.03.2018. 5.1. The assessee in the petition for admission of the additional evidences submitted that additional evidences are in the form of Form No.16 and Form No.12BA of seconded employees with regard to reimbursement of salary costs paid by the petitioner in relation to certain employees seconded by the A.E. to the assessee and back-up documents/third party invoices with regard to reimbursement of travelling and general office expenses in relation to certain employees seconded by the A.E. to the assessee.

It is also stated in the application that evidences placed by the assessee-company is crucial for judicious disposal of the objections. The assessee-company also explained that t .....

Since the Learned Counsel for the Assessee have not been able to explain as to how the additional evidences are relevant to the matter in issue and what are the contents thereof, therefore, it is, difficult to believe that the documents filed along with petition for admission of additional evidences have any relevance to the matter in issue. It is also not explained why these additional evidences were not filed before the authorities below despite earlier the matter have been remanded by the Tribunal to the DRP. The Hon ble jurisdictional Punjab and Haryana High Court in the case of Jawaharlal Jain (HUF) 370 ITR 712 considered the additional evidences which were filed after six years of the assessment. It was observed that since no credible evidence and no explanation of delay have been given, therefore, rejection of the additional evidences was found justified. The Hon ble jurisdictional Punjab and Haryana High Court in the case of Rishi Sagar 393 ITR 214 held that the additional evidences have been rightly refused as it is not explained why the same were not filed before the A.O. We may note that ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... dditional evidences. The petition for admission of the additional evidences is accordingly rejected. 6.1. Learned Counsel for the Assessee was not able to point out any error in the Order of the DRP/A.O. on this issue and merely submitted that in case additional evidences are admitted, the matter in issue could be remanded to the DRP for further adjudication. It would mean that on rejection of the petition for admission of additional evidences, assessee has nothing to say on this issue. No infirmity have been pointed out in the Orders of the authorities below. Therefore, ground Nos. 1 to 10 of the appeal of Assessee are dismissed. 7. On Ground Nos. 11 to 13, assessee challenged the addition of ₹ 80,99,113/- on account of disallowance of loss foreseeable on project. The grounds are reads as under : 11. The Ld. AO/DRP, on the facts and circumstances of the case, grossly erred in making disallowance of loss foreseeable on project amounting to ₹ 80,99,113/-. 12. The Ld. AO/DRP, on the facts and circumstances of the case, erred in making disallowance of loss foreseeable on project amounting to ₹ 80,99,113/- made by the appellant, by ignoring trea .....

The DRP accordingly upheld the addition. 9. After considering the rival submissions, we do not find any merit in this grounds of appeal of assessee. Learned Counsel for the Assessee merely submitted that assessee has given treatment in the accounts as per Accounting Standard-7 issued by ICAI. However, Learned Counsel for the Assessee was not able to rebut the findings of the DRP in this regard. It is not in dispute that the claim was made on mere estimate. It was also not disputed that the loss have not actually been crystallized during the assessment year under appeal. It is also not explained as to how the foreseeable loss have been calculated and what was the justification. It is well settled law that if assessee would have incurred actual loss, then the same would be allowed in the year when such loss have been incurred and crystallized. The DRP has specifically noted that even the loss have not taken place in assessment year under appeal. These findings of the authorities below have not b .....
