Thus,  any  claim  of expenditure made by the pharmaceutical company on giving freebies & gifts to doctors is not an allowable expenditure. Information about number of such cases where expenses on freebies and gifts were being claimed as business expenditure is not centrally maintained.

(c):      After the issue of aforesaid circular, the claim of expenditure incurred on distribution of freebies & gifts to doctors is not admissible and any likely loss of revenue on this count has been plugged.

(d):        After  the  issue  of  aforesaid  circular,  the  possibility  of  granting  any  illegal  claim  of  such expenditure no longer exists. However, if any specific aberration comes to the notice, necessary remedial  measures  are  taken  as  per  the  provisions  of  the  Act  and  in  suitable  cases,  action against the Assessing Officer may be taken as per the administrative mechanism.
