Non consideration of proposition laid down by Hon’ble jurisdictional High Court Delhi in the case of CIT vs. Holcim India (P) Ltd., reported as (2014) 90 CCH 0081 (Delhi H.C.) is an apparent mistake in the order of the Tribunal.
Section 14A contains the expression ‘in relation to income which does not form part of the total income’. The said decision cannot be used in the reverse to contend that even if no income has been received, the expenditure incurred can be disallowed u/s 14A.
The assessee is engaged in the business of trading in shares. dividend income was earned by the assessee on the shares held as stock-in-trade. Assessing Officer made disallowance u/s. 14A r.w. Rule 8D of the Income Tax Rules, on the tax free income earned by the assessee.
It has been observed that for the purpose of disallowance of expenditure under section 14A of the Income-Tax Act, 1961 (the Act), in respect of income exempt from tax, the Assessing Officers (AOs) have been following a totally erroneous method of straight away applying rule 8D of the Income-Tax Rules, 1962 (the Rules), without considering the correctness of the claim made by the assessee in respect of the expenditure incurred in relation to such income.
i. There is no interest expenses relatable to exempt investment. Assessee has made investment in the heads of tax free income. Investment in equity shares, insurance policies etc. are related to earlier years and were invested from the own capital funds. Therefore that investment is not related to this year. Hence, provisions of sec 14A […]

The ITAT bench of Pune in the case of M/s Thermotech Engineering held that where the assessee has earned exempt income and incurred expenditure by way of interest which is not directly attributable to any particular income
Ever since the advent of section 14A in the statute, it has evoked squall of controversy. While the purpose of the section was to compute taxable income by whisking away the expenses attributable to exempt income, the tax department always tried to use it for fetching some more fortunes. In this article attempt has been made to look into real objective of statutory provisions through latest judicial pronouncements.
In the case of M/s Chhaganlal Khimji & Co. Vs. ACIT Mumbai Bench of ITAT have held that that no disallowance can be made u/s.14A when there is no exempt income. ITAT relied upon the judgments of various courts in coming to the conclusion.
