The assessee company, Ralson Carbon Black Limited, is engaged in the business of manufacturing Carbon Black. The returned income of the assessee was processed under section 143(1) on 29.08.2008. The case was selected for scrutiny, and during the assessment proceedings, all amounts of creditors were added invoking the provisions of Section 41(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, and disallowances on account of EPF and ESI contributions of the employees were made.
