We have paid Professional Fees to foreign company during last FY ie 2013-14 duly grossing up (Say 100+11) Less TDS 11/- as per DTAA

After submission of return, Income Tax Department has demanded difference of 10% due to not availability of PAN. During FY 2014-15 we have paid the difference and claimed expenditure in said year.

In this regards the above expenditure is allowble exp. as per IT Act?. Pl explain in brief
