Disallowance out of employees’ benefit expenses under the Income Tax Act, 1961

Last updated: 22 July 2021
Quick Summary
The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal considered a case where an assessee's claim for employee benefit expenses was partially disallowed by the Assessing Officer. The disallowance of Rs. 61,06,094/- was based on the officer's view that the incentive component of the expenses lacked sufficient detail and appeared excessive relative to turnover. The CIT(A) upheld this decision. However, the Tribunal noted that a similar issue for a previous assessment year was decided in favour of the assessee by a co-ordinate bench, as the Assessing Officer had not rejected the books of account.

Court :
