INCOME TAX ACT, 1961

Section 36(1)(iii)

Since interest-free advances to sister concerns were made out of sufficient own funds available with assessee and, therefore, no disallowance of deduction under section 36(1)(iii) was called for.

Business deduction under section 36(1)(iii) - Interest on borrowed capital - Advancement of interest free loan to sister concern - Assessee having sufficient own funds

Assessee claimed deduction under section 36(1)(iii). AO disallowed assessee's claim on the ground of assessee having made interest free loan to sister concerns.Held: Assessee had sufficient interest-free funds of Rs. 176 crores as against this, interest bearing liabilities were only to the tune of Rs. 13 crore. Accordingly, it could be safely presumed that interest free advances to sister concerns were made out of sufficient own funds available with assessee and, therefore, no disallowance of deduction under section 36(1)(iii) was called for.
