The assessee also pointed out that during the previous year, the assessee carried only work of laying foundation for erecting tower by cell phone operators. It was submitted that the cell phone operators are professional houses and generally in such contracts, there are no high margins, which will force the assessee to resort to inflating the expenses to show less profits.
