Assessee duly explained that incentive paid to the dealers was nothing but discounts allowed on sales and did not qualify as brokerage and commission, hence, there was no case for deduction of tax at source as required under section 194H. AO had verified this issue with regard to deduction of tax liability on the part of assessee and therefore, order passed by AO was neither erroneous nor prejudicial to the interest of revenue.
