ATN Records Ltd., however, she has received her fees fully in cheque and has offered it as income in the relevant assessment year. As no material has been brought before us by the Revenue to controvert the aforesaid facts we are inclined to affirm the order of the CIT(A) on this issue by dismissing the ground raised by the Revenue. - I.T.A.

Matrix India Entertainment Pvt. Ltd., a loose paper was found in which there was a mention of receivable amounts of ₹ 1,75,00,000/-.
