Issues: Whether the investments made in OMIFCO, Oman were to be excluded while computing disallowance under Section 14A read with Rule 8D(2)(iii) of the Income-tax Rules, 1962.
Analysis: The dividend income from the OMIFCO investment was treated as part of the assessee's total income and the tax benefit was given by way of relief under Section 90(2) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 read with the Indo-Oman DTAA. The issue had also been examined in earlier years, and the same approach had been followed by directing exclusion of the OMIFCO investment while recomputing the disallowance. On that basis, the investment could not be treated as generating income that justified inclusion for the purposes of Section 14A disallowance.
Conclusion: The exclusion of the OMIFCO, Oman investment for computing disallowance under Section 14A read with Rule 8D(2)(iii) was upheld, in favour of the assessee.
