The Kolkata Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) remanded the Section 14A disallowance made on Srivaru Agro Pvt. Ltd. The Tribunal directed the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals {CIT (A))to verify the availability of the company’s own interest-free funds vis-à-vis investments and the reasonableness of administrative expenses, relying on the Supreme Court’s ruling in South Indian Bank Ltd.
ITAT Delhi dismissed Revenue’s appeal for AY 2017-18, confirming CIT(A)/NFAC’s deletion of disallowances on fixed deposit interest, bad debts, software expenses, inter-office adjustments, and depreciation on investments.

The Mumbai ITAT upheld the deletion of a disallowance for bad debts, confirming that deductions under Sections 36(1)(vii) and 36(1)(viia) are independent. The ruling followed the Supreme Court’s precedent, allowing the entire bad debt written off since no double deduction was claimed.

The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT), Delhi, upheld the addition of ₹19.06 Cr (AY 2011-12) and ₹17.53 Cr (AY 2012-13) to Raheja Developers Limited’s income.

ITAT Mumbai allowed Gateway Distriparks Ltd. s appeal, holding that Section 14A disallowance must be restricted to investments that actually generated exempt income, following the prospective nature of the 2022 amendment.

Mumbai ITAT ruled in favor of Dosti Realty Limited, deleting a ₹2.06 Crore expense disallowance made under Section 154.
