Section 14A
It was not in dispute that rule 8D applicable from assessment year 2008-09 onwards and, therefore, it was justifiable to make disallowance under section 14A on reasonable basis in the prior period. CIT(A) restricted section 14A disallowance to the extent of 10% of dividend income which nowhere seemed unjustifiable.
