Addition on account of interest on TDS - HELD THAT:- Following the decision of the Hon ble Karnataka High Court in the case of CIT vs. Oriental Insurance Company Ltd. [ 2008 (10) TMI 230 - KARNATAKA HIGH COURT] deleted the addition. The ld. DR could not controvert with any evidence so as to take a contrary view than the view taken by the ld.CIT(A).

..... asonable in the case of the contractor. In this light, the addition made under this head is deleted. 7. So far as the order of the CIT(A) deleting the above two additions are concerned, we find the assessee has not given the requisite details before the AO for which he made ad hoc disallowances. The ld. CIT(A), while deleting the above two additions have neither called for a remand report nor given an opportunity to the AO. The Hon ble Delhi High Court in the case of CIT vs. Jansampark Advertising Marketing (P) Ltd., 375 ITR 373 , has held that although it is the obligation of the AO to conduct proper scrutiny of material, in event of AO failing to discharge his functions properly, obligation to conduct proper enquiry shifts to Commissioner (Appeals) and Tribunal and they cannot simply delete addition made by AO on ground of lack of inquiry. Similarly, the Hon ble Delhi High Court in the case of CIT vs. Manish Build Well (P) Ltd. reported in 245 CTR 397, has held that where additional evidence was admitted and accepted as genuine at first appellate stage without Assessing Officer furnishing his comments and without verification, requirement of Rule 46A(3) were not satisfied. .....

..... VISION and EXECUTIVE ENGINEER BORDER FENCING DIV-V, SECTOR H 0 BSF CAMPUS BARMER of ₹ 7,23,701/- and ₹ 95,430/- respectively is excess income shown in the gross receipt as per P L account. The remarks column of the above mentioned chart 'shown in next year and 'shown in A.Y. 2013-14' indicates about the income shown as per 26AS in subsequent years and the remarks shown in previous year dated 26.03.2011' and 'shown in previous year dated 15.05.2011 indicates the income shown by the appellant in the P L account. After verification, I have come to the conclusion that the Assessing Officer has wrongly added the difference in the gross receipt. Form 26AS is a statement generated at the end of the year, and the appellant cannot be in any manner held responsible for such discrepancy. In case of doubt, the matter is to be investigated by the Assessing Officer in the light of system of accounting, which the Assessing Officer has failed to do in the present case. The Assessing Officer have also failed to see that interest income from Dena Bank and PNB has separately been shown in the P L account. In this light, the additions of ₹ 39,27,438/- (44216 .....
