ORDER

Per Dr. B. R. R. Kumar, Accountant Member:

The present appeal has been filed by the assessee against
the order of the ld. CIT(A)-8, New Delhi dated 18.06.2019.

2. Regarding the disallowance u/s 14A, the assessee at the
outset argued that this is not a parameter to be examined in
the case of limited scrutiny pertaining to the assessee as per
the notice issued dated 18.07.2017. There was no proof on
record that the limited scrutiny case has been converted into
full scrutiny on obtaining the approval of the ld. PCIT as per the
instant instructions issued by the CBDT.
2 ITA No. 6168/Del/2019

Scan Holdings Pvt. Ltd.

3. Since, the disallowance u/s 14A determined by the ld. CIT

(A) of Rs.68,137/- is without jurisdiction mandated, we hereby

delete the addition made by the AO.

4. With regard to the disallowance on account of car running
expenses and entertainment expenses (additional grounds). The
ld. AR argued that there cannot be any expenses of personal
element in case of the company. He argued that the
disallowance of expenses of Rs.1,53,051/- on account of car
running and Rs.24,657/- on account of entertainment expenses
cannot be treated as personal expenses. Regarding the
entertainment expenses being a factual issue of disallowance of
Rs.24,657/- forgone by the assessee earlier, owing to any valid
reasons, we decline to admit this ground at this juncture.

5. Having gone through the record, we find that revenue has
not brought anything to prove the personal nature of the
expenses with regard to car maintenance expenses except
disallowing the same on adhoc basis. Hence, the action of the
revenue cannot be supported. In the peculiar facts and
circumstances of the case, the appeal of the assessee on this
ground is allowed.

6. In the result, the appeal of the assessee is partly allowed.
Order Pronounced in the Open Court on 18/02/2021.
