Therefore, according to the Ld. counsel, the CIT(Appeals) has rightly restricted the disallowance to ₹ 44,30,887/-. 11. We have considered the rival submissions on either side and perused the relevant material available on record. The assessee contends that the payment was a composite one for purchase of iron ore and transportation, therefore, not liable for deduction of tax. The assessee also claims that in view of Section 194C(6) of the Act, in the case of those transporters who have Permanent Account Number, tax need not be deducted. In respect of others, who have no Permanent Account Number, the payment was made to the extent of ₹ 44,30,887/-, which was disallowed by the CIT(Appeals). The fact remains that the Permanent Account Number was furnished by the assessee except in respect of payment made to the extent of ₹ 44,30,887/-. Moreover, it is not in dispute that the payment made by the assessee is composite one for iron ore and transport of the same. Therefore, the CIT(Appeals) has rightly restricted the disallowance at ₹ 44,30,887/-. Hence, the same is confirmed. .....

Therefore, the Assessing Officer added the sum of ₹ 5 lakhs being the investment made in Multi Commodity Exchange. The CIT(Appeals) deleted the addition without any material. Therefore, according to the Ld. D.R., the order of the CIT(Appeals) is not justified. 18. On the contrary, Shri S. Sridhar, the Ld.counsel for the assessee, submitted that the PAN of the assessee was used by someone and no investment was made by the assessee. Therefore, according to the Ld. counsel, the CIT(Appeals) has rightly deleted the addition. 19.
