In view of decision of the ITAT in assessee’s own case for earlier year, respectfully following the same, it was held that interest income earned during the year by assessee, from the fixed deposits made out of borrowed funds was rightly taxed by Assessing Officer under the head ‘income from other sources’. The ITAT in their decision for the earlier year, had found that the interest payable on borrowed funds had no connection with the receipt of interest. Following the decision of the coordinate bench, it was to be held that the interest payable on the loans out which the fixed deposits were made was not allowable as deduction under section 57 (iii).

Under the existing provisions of clause (vii) of sub-section (2) of section 56 any sum or property received by an individual or HUF for inadequate consideration or without consideration is deemed as income and is taxed under the head “Income from other sources”. However, in the case of an individual, receipts from relatives are excluded from the purview of this section and are therefore treated as not taxable. The definition of relative as given in this sub-clause is only in relation to an individual and not in relation to a HUF.

Rajinder Mohan Lal Vs. DCIT (ITAT Chandigarh)- impugned gifts cheques were in the name of the assessee and not in the name of the assessee’s daughter, whose marriage was solemnized and the quantum of such gifts were credited by the assessee to his bank account. It is also a fact that the sum of money received by the assessee were not transferred to the bank account of his daughter, whose marriage was solemnized. In view of the above legal and factual discussions and clear findings of the lower authorities, we do not find any infirmity in the order of the CIT(A) and, hence, the same are upheld. This ground of appeal of the assessee is dismissed.
