Parties Involved

Facts Summary

The assessee, Mak Logistics Private Limited, filed its return of income for the Assessment Year 2012-13 declaring a loss of Rs. 2,27,33,096/-. The case was selected for scrutiny under CASS, and notices were issued under Sections 143(1) and 142(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The assessee appeared before the Assessing Officer (AO) and provided necessary documents and explanations. The AO noted discrepancies in the assessee's claim for Tax Deducted at Source (TDS). The assessee had claimed TDS of Rs. 11,24,243.41/-, but only Rs. 8,19,31,141/- was reflected in Form 26AS. Consequently, the AO disallowed the excess TDS claim of Rs. 3,04,926/- and added corresponding income of Rs. 1,30,86,446/- back to the assessee's income. The AO also disallowed the assessee's claim of carried forward loss of Rs. 1,98,673/- for AY 2012-13 due to delayed filing of the return and added back 10% of business expenses amounting to Rs. 3,38,521.41/-. The assessee filed an appeal before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) which was dismissed. Dissatisfied, the assessee appealed to the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal.…
