This document provides a comprehensive review of ITA No. 1826/Del/2020, in which Syndicate Labels challenges the addition of Rs.5,43,837 for the late deposit of employee contributions to ESI & PF during the assessment year 2018-19.
The case originates from a disallowance made by the CPC under section 143(1) for the late payment of PF & ESI contributions. Despite making the payments before the tax filing deadline, the initial ruling did not favor the appellant, leading to an appeal.
The appellant argued against the disallowance citing precedents that supported deductions for contributions made before tax return filings. The tribunal, referencing decisions like PCIT vs. Pro Interactive Service (India) Pvt. Ltd., ruled in favor of the appellant, emphasizing the legislative intent to not penalize payments made before filing returns.
The resolution of ITA No. 1826/DEL/2020 serves as a significant precedent for similar cases, emphasizing the timing of contributions over the strict adherence to other deadlines. This analysis explores the tribunal’s rationale and its implications for payroll compliance and tax planning.
