Vossloh Beekay Castings Ltd., New Delhi vs Acit, Circle- 26(2), New Delhi on 29 August, 2022

9.2 We observe the judgments referred by the ld. AR are factually dissimilar, hence, not applicable to the facts of the instant case. The authorities below have made and sustained the addition under challenge on the ground that the Assesseehas not submitted any documentary evidence in support of the nature of the services rendered, as the onus of proving whether such deductions are permissible in law is on the Assessee. Though the Assessee has submitted the copy of returns and financials of Shri D.N.

DRP referred above in the Assessee's own case for the assessment year 2013-14 qua payment made to Shri D.N. Pandey as liaisoning commission. We further observe that coordinate Bench of the Tribunal in the Assessee's own case for the assessment year 2013-14 (ITA No. 5618/Del/2017 decided on 18.02.2020) has also considered the order of ld. DRP and the assessment order dated 30.06.2017 passed by the ACIT, Circle 26(2), New Delhi, in pursuance to the directions of the ld. DRP and analysed the facts and circumstances in detail and minutely and dismissed the appeal of the Assessee by observing as under :
