Section 14A Rule 8D

Disallowance under section 14A - Expenditure against exempt income - Sufficiency of own funds -
Revenue challenged the order of Tribunal deleting the disallowance made by AO under section 14A following case of CIT v. HDFC Bank Ltd. (2014) 366 ITR 505 (Bom). Held: In the instant case, undisputedly the assessee's capital, profit reserves, surplus and current account deposits were higher than the investments in the tax-free securities. Thus, it would have to be presumed that the investment made by the assessee would be out of the interest-free funds available with the assessee. Therefore, Tribunal had not erred in dismissing the appeal of the Revenue on this ground.
Followed:CIT v. HDFC Bank Ltd. (2014) 366 ITR 505 (Bom) : 2014 TaxPub(DT) 3351 (Bom-HC)
REFERRED :
FAVOUR : In assessee's favour.
