No Disallowance u/s 14A & Rule 8D For Exempt Income Earned On Strategic Investments : ITAT Delhi

Dear Subscriber,

 

The following important judgement is available for download at itatonline.org.

Interglobe Enterprises Ltd vs. DCIT (ITAT Delhi)

No disallowance u/s 14A & Rule 8D can be made towards exempt income earned on strategic investments

The assessee had made significant investments in the shares of subsidiary companies which are definitely not for the purpose of earning exempt income. Strategic investment has to be excluded for the purpose of arriving at disallowance under Rule 8D(iii). The disallowance under Rule 8D(iii) has to be computed by excluding the value of strategic investments. No disallowance under Rule 8D(i) and 8D(ii) is also warranted (REI Agro (ITAT Kol) followed)
