Facts of the case, in brief, are that the assessee is a company and filed its return of income on 21st September, 2012 declaring total income of Rs. 1,93,33,963/-. During the course of assessment proceedings, the AO observed that the assessee company has claimed expenses of Rs. 13,84,172/- on account of repairs and maintenance of building. Since the assessee is claiming 30% deduction on income from house property, the AO disallowed the expenses claimed by the assessee on account of repair and maintenance. 3.1 Before CIT(A), the assessee filed the details of the expenses which are as under:- Place where fun & fair located A-38, Mohan Co-Operative Indl.

Needless to say the AO shall keep in mind the orders of the Tribunal in assessee's own case for Assessment Year 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2011-12 on this issue. The ground raised by the assessee is accordingly allowed for statistical purposes. 8. Ground no. 2 raised by the assessee is as under:- ii.

I have heard the rival submissions and perused the relevant material on record. It is observed that the AO has made an adhoc 25% disallowance of expenses by observing that the revenue from the business was much less than the expenses incurred.
