I.  Direct Tax Case laws:

1.   Apollo Tyres Ltd Vs. DCIT, ITA No. 31/Coch/2010, Date of pronouncement: 29.05.2013, ITAT- Cochin

Decision: In favour of assessee
Section: 40(a)(ia) r.w. 201(1A) of Income Tax Act, 1961

Whether expenditure can be disallowed u/s 40(a)(ia) of the Act for short or lesser deduction of tax at source.

Held No,

Section 40(a)(ia) does not envisage a situation where there was short deduction/ lesser deduction as in case of section 201(1A) of the Act. There is an obvious omission to include short deduction / lesser deduction in section 40(a)(ia) of the Act. Therefore, in case of short / lesser deduction of tax, the entire expenditure whose genuineness was not doubted by AO cannot be disallowed.

Decision: In favor of assessee
Section: 147  of Income Tax Act, 1961
Assessment Year: 2003- 04

Cases referred:
1.    CIT v. Usha International Ltd. 348 ITR 485 FB (DEL)
2.    Kalyanji Mavji and Co. v. CIT 102 ITR 287 (SC)
3.    A.L.A. Firm v. CIT 189 ITR 285 (SC)
4.    Indian and Eastern Newspaper Society v. CIT 119 ITR 996 (SC)

Whether notice u/s 148 can be issued for disallowance of a particular expense which has been duly examined by the AO during the Assessment proceedings by asking for specific details but not mentioned in Assessment Order.

Held No,

In the instant case, the assessee incurred certain losses on account of non- recovery of money and accordingly reduced from the income. The amount so written off was duly examined by the AO and no adjustment was made for it. Later, a notice u/s 148 was issued stating that said issue has not been examined earlier as not specified in the Assessment order. The Hon’ble High Court, considering the fact that the issue was examined as query was raised by AO, a notice for another examination cannot be issued, as it would amount to mere change of opinion and the appeal was dismissed accordingly.
