Rajendrakumar Choudhary, Mumbai vs Department Of Income Tax on 30 April, 2012
5. We have carefully perused the order of the Assessing Officer as
well as the CIT(A). So far as the assessee's explanation that it has
received advance from M/s TVEPL for supply of raw materials, which
because of certain adverse conditions and circumstances, the
assessee could not supply the same. Subsequently, the assessee
arranged to supply the raw materials to M/s TVEPL through M/s
Rajendra Kumar & Co. in financial year 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 for
which the payment was made by him. This is evident from the
explanation filed before the Assessing Officer as well as before the
CIT (A). It is not disputed by any of the authorities that the said
transaction was purely for commercial purposes. The department in
the grounds of appeal is only aggrieved by the finding of the CIT(A)
that the amount was returned by passing journal entries and it was an
afterthought. The finding given by the CIT(A) does not seem to be
suffer from any infirmity either on facts or in law, which are based on
decision of the ITAT in the case of CIT Vs. Lakra Bros. reported in
106 TTJ 250 (Chandigarh) and other High Court's decisions.
