But these were returned by the postal authorities 'unserved' in three cases stating that parties were untraceable. In one case, notice server reported that there was no such party. In another case also, the party was not found at the given address. Accordingly, the assessing officer disallowed the job charges of ₹ 6,24,916 paid to these five parties on the ground that these were not genuine. 3. Aggrieved, the assessee impugned the disallowance in appeal before the Commissioner (Appeals). It was submitted that payments were made to job workers against their invoices for stitching and printing of sacks. Almost all payments wer .....

In view of the fact that the appellant has claimed stitching and printing charges at a uniform rate to all the parties and only to the extent of the production declared, the expenditure appears to be reasonable.

The next ground of appeal relates to deleting an addition of ₹ 5,911 made by the assessing officer on account of delayed payment of PF.
