Assistant Commissioner of Income Tax vs. M/s. Meghdoot Enterprises

Parties Involved

Facts Summary

The assessee, M/s. Meghdoot Enterprises, is engaged in the business of construction of commercial and industrial godowns. It filed its return of income for the year 2013-14 declaring a total income of Rs.53,36,260/-. The case was selected for scrutiny, and the Assessing Officer observed that the assessee had debited large amounts towards purchases and labour contract charges without providing adequate details. The AO passed an assessment order determining the total income at Rs.7,21,29,010/- after making an addition/disallowance of Rs.6,68,26,970/- towards these charges. Aggrieved by this order, the assessee appealed to the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), who allowed the appeal on the ground that the assessee had substantiated the transactions with documentary evidence during the remand proceedings. The Revenue then appealed to the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal challenging this order.…
