Facts Summary

The assessee company filed a return of income for the Assessment Year 2009-10 declaring total income of Rs. Nil. The case was taken up under scrutiny as per notice u/s 143(2) of the IT Act. The assessee company appealed against the order of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) arising out of the Assessment Order of the Assistant Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals). The assessee argued that the order of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) was erroneous in law and on facts. The assessee contended that the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) erred in upholding the additions made by the Assessing Officer in respect of 'Advance received from Customers' under the contracts entered into by the assessee, which does not constitute revenue/income of the relevant assessment year. The assessee also argued that the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) erred in upholding the disallowance of Rs.8,51,913 debited under the accounting head 'TDS recoverable written off in the books of account, without appreciating the nature of the expense and by mechanically following the orders passed by CIT(A) for earlier assessment years. The Department of Revenue pleaded that the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) erred in deleting the disallowance of Rs.2,71,50,036/- made by AO on account of depreciation claimed on intangible assets.
