Reasons recorded by the AO that the assessee was beneficiary by way of CCM in derivative transactions was factually incorrect. This shows non application of mind by the I.T.O to the information received by the AO from the ADIT (Inv.), Unit-1(3), Ahmedabad. The law requires that the Assessing Officer prima facie applies his mind to the information received, prior to forming a reasonable belief, that income subject to tax has escaped assessment and thereafter record reasons. When reasons are based on wrong facts, which were not verified, then it is a clear case of non-application of mind by the Assessing Officer to the material received.

This case are covered by the decision of this Court passed in The Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemptions), Chandigarh vs. M/s Adesh Foundation (Regd.) wherein held why should a management, in no dearth of funds, risk its’ reputation and, rather, even the future of its’ institution, by asking for such ill gotten money? Clearly, we are unable to regard the present case as one of ‘distinct possibility’ i.e., the test or the threshold which, in our view, must characterize the impugned transactions of donations which the applicant-appellant targets while seeking benefit u/s. 80G(5), so as to oust its’ case for being a eligible for approval thereunder.

It is not proper to say that if the deduction is refused in the first year of employment of the new employee then for the next two succeeding Assessment Years also, the benefit of deduction will not be available. Such an approach defeats the very purpose for which deduction u/s.80JJAA of the Act is allowed for three consecutive Assessment years.

The trust is belonging to Escorts Ltd , it is the settlor and it is the beneficiary, that does not mean that it is the trustee also. AO has not brought on record any evidence to show that Escorts Limited is the trustee of the assessee. Therefore, the allegation of ld AO that Escorts Limited is also the trustee is devoid of any merit and based on mere conjectures and surmises. Further the sole beneficiary is Escorts Limited and Settlor of the trustis Escorts Limited is the major reason why the ld AO is refusing to recognize the above trust.

AO cannot reject the suo motu disallowance offered by the assessee on the ground that such a disallowance under rule 8D will be more; that's putting cart before the horse. Quite to the contrary, an AO can resort to rule 8D only when, as per the prescription of Section 14A(2) “the Assessing Officer, having regard to the accounts of the assessee, is not satisfied with the correctness of the claim of the assessee in respect of such expenditure in relation to income which does not form part of the total income under this Act”.

Geographical difference, by itself, does not render an independent transaction uncomparable with controlled transaction. Geographical location, by itself, is not an important factor for deciding comparability of an uncontrolled transaction, its importance lies in being one of the factors which could affect the market conditions in which respective parties operate.

It is not the case of the valuer that the building was newly constructed on the date, rather, the valuer has mentioned categorically that the date of construction is not known. He even has failed to estimate the age of the building as on the date of valuation.

The assessee herein is the distributor of software licenses of its AE. Hence there should not be any dispute that core technical problems could only be resolved by its AE. Unless proper and appropriate maintenance services are provided to its customers, it would be difficult to market the software licences. There is merit in the contentions of the assessee that the distribution of software licenses and their maintenance are inter-linked. Accordingly, we are inclined to agree with the contentions of the assessee.
