INCOME TAX ACT, 1961

Section 36(1)(iii)

Since interest-free advances were made out of sufficient interest-free own funds available at disposal of assessee, no disallowance of dedcution 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 wife of employee - Assessee having sufficient own funds

Assessee claimed deduction of interest paid under section 36(1)(iii). AO made proportionate disallowance on the ground of assessee having advanced interest-free loans to wife of employee without any business expediency. Assessee pleaded to have sufficeint own funds. Held: Interest-free own funds available at disposal of assessee were far in excess of interest free advances, therefore, presumption would arise in favour of assessee that advances were made from interest-free funds available with assessee and, therefore, no disallowance of deduction under section 36(1)(iii) was called for.
