The main reason for the said disallowance by the Assessing Officer was that the major portion of the professional fees to MAPE Advisory Group was paid in the preceding year and the invoice was raised on 09.10.2011. The ld. AO, was of the view that since the invoice relates to financial year 2011-12, expenditure claimed cannot be allowed during the year under appeal. However, ld.
