That the Revenue was unable to controvert the fact that none of the expenses made by the assessee on behalf of the associated enterprises involved rendering of services by the assessee but were merely meeting of expenses of statutory duties dues, fees or charges of the associated enterprises. Neither did the Revenue dispute the fact that all the expenses were made out of advances given by the associated enterprises to the assessee. Order of CIT(A) is affirmed.  (AY.2011-12)
