Cit vs Raj Kumar Mahajan on 4 January, 2012
7. Ground 2 by the Revenue is in respect of a disallowance at Rs.94,000/-,
being 1/7th of the total expenditure (of Rs.6.56 lacs) under several heads of
expenditure, viz. entertainment; langer; festival expenses; labour welfare; etc.,
incurred in cash and supported by self-made vouchers, so that the expenditure was
not fully verifiable. Relief stands allowed by the first appellate authority on the
ground that no specific defect stands pointed out by the AO. The Revenue's
grievance is that it has not been appreciated that the expenditure stands incurred in
cash per self-made vouchers, so that it is not fully verifiable. Like contentions were

raised before us. We find some merit in the case of either party. An expenditure
does not become un-genuine merely because it stands incurred in cash. At the same
time, cash expenditure per self-made vouchers is not amenable to verification.
