If for earning exempted income no expenditure has been incurred, disallowance under Section 14A cannot stand

January 4, 2012 1544 Views 0 comment Print

CIT Vs. Wimco Seedlings Ltd. (Delhi HC) – It was held that unless and until there was actual expenditure for earning the exempted income, there could not be any disallowance under section 14A. While we agree that the expression ‘expenditure incurred’ refers to actual expenditure and not to some imagined expenditure, we would like to make it clear that the ‘actual’ expenditure that is in contemplation under section 14A(1) of the said Act is the ‘actual’ expenditure in relation to or in connection with or pertaining to exempt income. The corollary to this is that if no expenditure is incurred in relation to the exempt income, no disallowance can be made under section 14A of the said Act.

Rajinder Mohan Lal Vs. DCIT (ITAT Chandigarh)- impugned gifts cheques were in the name of the assessee and not in the name of the assessee’s daughter, whose marriage was solemnized and the quantum of such gifts were credited by the assessee to his bank account. It is also a fact that the sum of money received by the assessee were not transferred to the bank account of his daughter, whose marriage was solemnized. In view of the above legal and factual discussions and clear findings of the lower authorities, we do not find any infirmity in the order of the CIT(A) and, hence, the same are upheld. This ground of appeal of the assessee is dismissed.
