INCOME TAX ACT, 1961

Section 14A Rule 8D(2)(iii)

Even if investments were made out of available interest-free fund the same by no stretch of imagination went to prove that no disallowance under rule 8D(2)(iii) was required. Accordingly, disallowance made by AO was justified.

Disallowance under section 14A - Expenditure against exempt income - Invocation of rule 8D(2)(iii) - Assessee pleading to have sufficient own funds

Assessee earned tax-free dividend income but claimed no disallowance under section 14A. AO invoked rule 8D(2)(iii) and computed disallowance under section 14A at the rate of 0.5% of average value of investment. Assessee pleaded to have sufficient own funds. Held: Even if investments were made out of available interest-free fund the same, by no stretch of imagination, went to prove that no disallowance under rule 8D(2)(iii) was required. Accordingly, disallowance made by AO was justified.
