Ito, Ward-8(2), Hyd, Hyderabad vs Amardeep Textiles, Hyd, Hyderabad on 9 January, 2017
"7. Upon hearing the rival submissions, we are of the view that the
decision of the ITAT Special Bench is binding on the Tribunal,
particularly in view of the clarificatory order passed by the Hon'ble
High Court of Judicature at Hyderabad in the instant case, and
thus, we respectfully follow the decision of Special Bench in the
case of Merilyin Shipping & Transport (supra), and hold that the
provisions of S. 40(a)(ia) cannot be invoked where the payments
were already made by the assessee. We direct the Assessing
Officer accordingly. In the result, appeals of the revenue insofar as
the above issue is concerned, are hereby dismissed".
