PCIT v. Prabhat Agri Biotech Ltd (2023) 333 CTR 439 (Telangana)( HC)

S. 10(1) : Agricultural income-Apportionment of expenses-Agricultural and trading-Order of Tribunal is affirmed. [S. 260A]

Dismissing the appeal of the Revenue the Court held that   in view of the seasonal nature of the business carried out by the assessee and the short shelf life of the seeds, Tribunal has held that it is imperative for the assessee to take into account the quantity of unsold seeds at the end of the year and the need to re-validate their further utility and to take them into stock for the next season.  It cannot be said that the provision for sales returns is unascertained or unreasonable. On due consideration, no error or infirmity is found in the view taken by the Tribunal. (AY.2013-14)
