..... of Rs. 2,00,093/- on the motor car. Revenue has failed to bring any evidence to show that this motor car was not used for business purposes. Giving a general remark that it was used by the partner will not be sufficient to hold the disallowance. However, considering the facts and circumstances of the case and being fair to both the parties, we confirm disallowance of motor car expenses only to the extent of Rs. 15,000/- and delete the remaining disallowance confirmed by the ld. CIT(A). Hence, this ground is partly allowed. Disallowance at the rate of 10% on the telephone expenses, conveyance charges and general expenses - HELD THAT:- Firstly, the actual expenditure incurred during the year on these three heads is at Rs. 3,94,966/- and out of this sum Rs. 2,84,147/- was not claimed in the profit loss account. The balance amount claimed as an expenditure during the year is only Rs. 1,10,819/- and, therefore, 10% of it i.e. 11,082/- is confirmed and the remaining disallowance is deleted. Hence, ground no. 3 is partly allowed. Disallowance on account of interest on service tax, TDS, penalty for P. tax - HELD THAT:- On examining the facts of the case, we find that the actua .....

Registry has informed that the appeal is time barred by 59 days. Condonation application has been filed by the assessee. Perusal of the same shows that the delay was on account of COVID-19 restrictions. We, therefore, in view of the judgment of The Hon ble Supreme Court vide Miscellaneous Application No. 21 of 2022 find that the limitation period in filing appeal between 15.03.2020 till 28.02.2022 has been excluded for calculating the limitation period in filing appeal under this period.

Revenue has failed to bring any evidence to show that this motor car was not used for business purposes.
