AO not empowered to select head of income for computation of permissible deductions U/s 40(b)

AO has done, if accepted, has the effect of rendering the very Explanation 3 totally nugatory or purposeless. Needless to say, that every word used by the legislature, is significant and cannot be lost sight of.
