The Assessing Officer also disallowed the expenditure under section 14A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 without first recording that he was not satisfied with the correctness of the claim as regards the claim that “no expenditure” was made by the assessee.
We find that the assessee has made payment on or before the due date of filing of return u/s. 139(1) of the Act and this issue is squarely covered by the decision of Hon’ble jurisdictional High Court in the case of Vijay Shree Limited, supra, wherein Hon’ble Calcutta High Court has held as under
The issue of revenue’s appeal is that the CIT(A) has wrongly deleted the disallowance made by AO under Rule 8D(2)(ii) of the Rules at Rs.55,47,700/-. Here the assessee before the lower authorities and even before us explained that out of the total interest payment of Rs.97,22,656/-, the interest aggregating to Rs. 92,69,529/- was paid to Brila Global Finance Co. Ltd.,
In this case, assessee has earned by way of dividends a sum of Rs.5,45,58,685/-, which is exempt u/s 10(38) of the Act and thus the same does not form part of the total income under the Act. In the computation of income, assessee having regard to section 14A of the Act
Recently, the Punjab and Haryana High Court has rendered a very significant judgement, regarding disallowance under section 14A of the Income-Tax Act, 1961 (the Act), r.w.r.8D of the Income-Tax Rules 1962 (the Rules), in the case of CIT Vs Deepak Mittal [2014] 361 ITR 131 (P&H) : [2013] 219 Taxman 314 (P&H). This judgement is really a landmark judgement, in regard to the disallowance under section 14A of the Act,
It was held had held that Disallowance u/s 14A for the period before AY 2008-09 i.e pre-Rule 8D period, should be restricted to 2% of the dividend income. Shakuntaladevi Trade & Investments Pvt. Ltd. Vs. ITO (ITAT Mumbai)
In this case only interest of Rs 2,96,731/- was paid on funds utilized for making investments on which exempted income was receivable. Further it was observed that in respect of investment of Rs. 6,07,775,000/- made in subsidiary companies , they are attributable to commercial expediency, because as per submission made by the assessee,
That mere incorporation and receipt of share application money cannot be said to be commencement of the business. Neither any interest income has been earned from against advances nor any goods or services been obtained.
From the above discussion, it transpires that the objective satisfaction of the AO as to the correctness of the assessee’s claim was not recorded in the instant case. However, even if Rule 8D cannot be applied, the AO is obliged to ascertain the expenditure which had been incurred to earn the tax-free income.
During the year only an amount of 4 lakh was invested out of the total investment of 3.39 crores. In the earlier years the assessment of the assessee were completed u/s 143(3) and the AO did not make any disallowance u/s 14A. The term loan taken by the assessee was for specific purposes and it cannot be alleged without proof that the term loan granted by the bank for specific purposes,
