The non-inclusive part consists of consideration for the sale distribution or exhibition of cinematographic films. The Assessing Officer misread the provision in the second part of the clause with regard to exhibition of cinematographic films. He wrongly held that what the assessee purchased is copyrights and hence liable to TDS. In fact, the copyrights are always with the producer. The distributor is only given the right exhibition of cinematographic films.

From perusal of the order passed by the assessing officer, it is evident that assessing officer has not examined the fact whether or not the assessee has entered an amount as written off as bad debt. From the order passed by the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) also it is evident that he has not recorded a specific finding that the assessee had written off the debt in the books of account.

Available information in the return is already on record with the assessing officer. Such a situation, it is possible that AO may on looking at the notice itself find it necessary to issue the notice u/s 143(2) of the act. Thus imputing waiting time to the AO for issue of notice u/s143 (2) of the act is perhaps not justified. Because, in such cases the AO might have verified the original return of income at the time of issue of notice u/s148 of the act, if he does not find such information in the return, then only he issues notice u/s 148 of the act. Otherwise, why he would issue a notice if the information is available in the original return it.

If the AO had any doubt regarding their identity, creditworthiness and genuineness of the transactions, he could have at least issued any notice either u/s.131 or u/s.133(6) of the Act to any of the employees but merely stating that the assessee could not produce the identity card of the 21 employees and they had no PAN and not filing their income tax returns, cannot be accepted unsecured loan accepted from employees is very nominal and that is treated as a security money kept with the employer and paid back when they left the service-employees' identity cards were produced before the AO and the nominal amount collected from each employees was treated as a security money.

The basis of the above reason was a report of survey and the details of the transaction carried out by the assessee.
