RIPOTE, ACCOUNTANT MEMBER ITA No.754/PUN/2019 निर्धारण वषा / Assessment Year : 2011-12 Sahakar Shiromani Vasantrao Kale Sahakari Sakhar Kharkhana Ltd., At & Post Bhalawani, Tal- Pandharpur, Dist-Solapur-413304 PAN: AAAAC0507D Vs. ITO, Ward 2(5), Solapur Appellant Respondent आदेश / ORDER PER S.S. GODARA, JM : This assessee‟s appeal for AY 2011-12 arises against the CIT(A)-7, Pune‟s order dated 09-11-2017 passed in case No. PN/CIT(A)-7/Wd-2(2)/10340/2014-15, in proceedings under Section 143(3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, in short „the Act‟. Heard both the parties. Case file perused. 2. The assessee pleads the following substantive grounds in its appeal:- Assessee by Smt. Deepa Khare (Through virtual) Revenue by Shri Saradar Singh Meena Date of hearing 18-07-2022 Date of pronouncement 28-07-2022 ITA No.754/PUN/2019 2 1. Hon’ble CIT(Appeals)-7, Solapur has erred in confirming the disallowance of : a. Excess Cane Price Rs.42,48,02,714/- b. Sale of Sugar at Concessional Rate Rs. 91,32,523/- c. Meeting Expenses Rs. 5,365/- d. Printing and Stationery Exp Rs. 1,95,529/- e. Motor Expenses Rs. 4,59,201/- f. Garden Expenses Rs. 52,623/- 2. The unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward business losses may be recomputed in light of Ground No.1 3. Mr. Meena vehemently supported the learned lower authorities action on both counts i.e. assessee‟s payment of excess cane price and sale of sugar at concessional rate (both to members) disallowed in the lower proceedings. He fails to dispute that these former twin issues of excess cane price payment as well as sugar at concessional rate are no more res integra as the tribunal‟s various co-ordinate benches, and more particularly ITA No.68/PUN/2018 in The Malegaon Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Limited vs. ITO‟s order dated 21.40.2021 has set aside the concerned assessee‟s substantive grounds back to the assessing authority for its afresh appropriate adjudication as per law. Ordered accordingly. 4. Coming to the assessee‟s four substantive grounds “c” to “f”, learned counsel could hardly dispute the clinching fact that it could ITA No.754/PUN/2019 3 not file all the requisite details before the lower authorities that the same had been “wholly and exclusively” incurred for the purpose of the business. Rejected accordingly. 5. This assessee‟s appeal is partly allowed for statistical purposes in above terms. Order pronounced in the Open Court on 28 th July, 2022. Sd/- Sd/- (DIPAK P. RIPOTE) (S.S.
