Various benches of the Tribunals including the Delhi Benches of the Tribunal, have held the amendment made by Finance (No 2) Act to be curative in nature. We further finds the coordinate bench of the Tribunal in the case of R.H. International Vs. ITO [ 2019 (5) TMI 616 - ITAT DELHI] has held that disallowance u/s. 40(a)(ia) of the Act be restricted to 30% of the expenses paid as against 100% because amended provision is curative in nature and the provisions should be applied retrospectively. - Appeal filed by the assessee is part .....

Pointing to the aforesaid details, she submitted that out of the total payment to 21 persons, the payment of the persons at Sr. No. 17, 18, 19 and 20 are less than ₹ 10,000 each and therefore as per the provisions of section 194H, the assessee was not required to deduct any TDS on such payments and therefore no disallowance u/s 40(a)(ia) was called for.
