..... of Rs. 11,07,238/- of the duplicate bills, the relief could not have been granted only to the extent of Rs. 4,22,595/-. Therefore, the assessee should have been granted the reduction of Rs. 6,84,643/- out of repetitive bills over and above Rs. 30 lakhs. As per the information available on record, the assessee should be granted reduction of the professional fees paid of Rs7,62,730/- and repetitive bills of Rs. 6,84,643/-. Therefore, the assessee deserves the benefit of Rs. 14,47,343/- out of the total addition made of Rs. 19,26,634/-. Therefore, we direct the Learned Assessing Officer to retain the addition of Rs. 4,79,261/- out of the total addition of Rs. 19,26,634/-.

..... see has paid professional fee of Rs. 51,29,450/- during the year. Thus, the tax audit report also suggests that no amount of Rs. 7,62,730/- was paid as professional fee in addition to amount debited in the P/L Account. In view of these facts, it is held that the appellant has failed to substantiate that the amount of Rs. 7,62,730/- should be reduced from the amount of Rs. 4,17,00,000/- while quantifying the professional receipts during the year. Accordingly, the claim of the appellant is rejected. 13. The next contention of the appellant is that the Assessing Officer did not allow the benefit of Rs. 11,07,238/- on account of discount given to the patient. As discussed above, the appellant has claimed that a total discount of Rs. 22,07,238/- was given to various patients and therefore, this amount should be reduced from the figure of Rs. 4,17,00,000/-. While completing the assessment, the Assessing Officer has allowed the benefit of Rs. 11,00,000/- and the benefit of balance Rs. 11,07,238/- was denied by him. In this connection, the appellant has submitted details of discount given to various patients. These details were verified by the undersigned on a test check basis and it is .....
