ORDER
1. During the course of assessment, the Assessing Officer noticed that assessee has debited commission expenditure to the amount of Rs. 48,57,000/- in the profit and loss account. The Assessing Officer made disallowance of expenses on account of export commission to the amount of Rs. 23,84,170/- on the ground that it has not deducted tax on the aforesaid foreign commission payment. The Assessing Officer stated that assessee has not proved the identity of the commission agent as no copy of agreement executed between the foreign agent and the assessee has been furnished.
