Whether interest paid in respect of borrowings for acquisition of capital assets not put to use in the concerned financial year can be permitted as allowable deduction under section 36(1)(iii) of the Income-tax Act, 1961?
We have gone through the Notice under Section 154 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 . We find that the said notice is totally vague. The Assessing Officer has not even indicated as to on what basis he has allowed excess set-off. Notice under Section 154 of the Act, therefore, was not maintainable.

Tyre retreading is a process where the TREAD (the portion of the tyre which meets the surface of road) of an old tyre is replaced/ repaired using a vulcanizing solution to give fresh lease of life to the tyre. When a tyre is manufactured it is estimated that approximately 75%-80% of the manufacturing cost is incurred in tyre body and remaining 20%-25% in the TREAD, and by retreading the tyre is reusable at a cost which is less than 50% of the price of a new tyre.

Assessee was held entitled for deduction u/s.80IB(10) in case there was enhanced income on account of statutory disallowance u/s.43B, 40(a)(ia) and 36(1)(va), etc. In the instant case nature of receipts on credit side of Profit and Loss Account for eligible housing projects u/s.80IB(10) was the same and disallowance of expenditure on the debit side would only result into enhancement of net profit. Accordingly, the assessee’s claim was liable to be allowed in view of the ratio of the decisions cited (supra). As stated above, assessee is not eligible for deduction u/s.80IB(10) pertaining to its Cosmos project. The Assessing Officer has held in assessment order that sum of claim u/s. 80IB(10) was allowable to assessee for its Heliconia project. Thus, if any disallowance u/s.43B, 40(a)(ia) or 36(10(va) etc., relate to Heliconia project that only can be considered for claim u/s. 80IB(10) and corresponding enhanced income.
There is a fallacy in above reasoning of Commissioner (Appeals). The same service for which the contractor has procured an order, does not stand actually provided by him but is passed on to sub-contractor, who provided the actual service, it cannot be said that the contractor is liable to pay duty on the same.
