O R D E R

We have heard rival submissions and perused the materials available on record. We find that assessee is a private limited company engaged in the business of marketing, installation and servicing of high technology, analytical and laboratory instruments, the returned income for the A.Y.2013-14 was electronically filed on 30/09/2013 declaring total income of Rs.6,93,07,420/-

2. Having held that the asset transferred is a long term capital asset, the next question that arises for our consideration is whether the indexation benefit for cost of acquisition should be allowed to the assessee, based on the payments made in instalments and applying the cost inflation index in the relevant year of payment. We find that assessee itself had claimed indexation benefit by applying the cost inflation index in the year of payment of instalments.

3. The ground No.iv raised by the assessee is challenging the disallowance of foreign travel expenditure @20% of total expenditure on an adhoc basis by the ld. AO.

4. In the result, appeal of the assessee is allowed. Order pronounced on 30/08/2021 by way of proper mentioning in the notice board.
