Shri Vishal Aggarwal, New Delhi vs Ito, New Delhi on 30 January, 2020
9. Following the ratio laid down by the Hon'ble Delhi High Court in CIT vs
Idea Cellular Ltd. (supra), we hold that there was liability on the assessee to
deduct tax at source on the recharge coupons sold by the assessee and as the
assessee has failed to deduct tax at source, the said expenditure is not
allowable under section 40(a)(ia) of the Act. Hence, the grounds of appeal
raised by the assessee are dismissed.
