The ruling confirms that Section 14A cannot be invoked mechanically without actual expenditure linked to exempt income. Growth mutual funds earning taxable gains fall outside its scope.
The Tribunal held that compensation received for unauthorised occupation merely substitutes lost rent. Since the property remained intact, the receipt was taxable as revenue income under Section 23(1).
