Section 36(1)(v)

Business disallowance under section 36(1)(v) - Allowability - Payment to an unapproved gratuity fund -
AO made addition on account of payment to an unapproved gratuity fund. According to department, the payment made to approved gratuity fund alone had to be allowed under section 36(1)(v). In this case, payment was made to an unapproved fund, therefore, it cannot be allowed. Held: It was not in dispute that assessee had actually paid the money. In other words, the money had actually gone out from the hands of the assessee. Therefore, money paid towards the gratuity fund would not come to the assessee at any event. Hence, CIT(A) had rightly deleted the addition made by AO.
