The Tribunal allowed the appeal and deleted the disallowance of interest expenditure under section 36(1)(iii) of the Act for the Asstt.Year 2014-15. The decision was based on the lack of independent findings by the ld.CIT(A) and the Tribunal's previous ruling in a similar case, emphasizing the availability of interest-free funds.

The Assessing Officer observed that interest expenditure was required to be disallowed on work-in-progress, based on the rate of 9.75%.

The appellant argued that no new term loan was taken during the year, and the investment was made from interest-free funds. The appellant also highlighted its capital structure and reliance on a High Court decision regarding interest-free advances. The appellant's submissions were considered, emphasizing the availability and source of funds. The ld.CIT(A) directed the assessing officer to calculate interest on capital work-in-progress at 9.75%. The Tribunal noted the lack of findings by the ld.CIT(A) and the reliance on a previous order that was not approved by the Tribunal. The Tribunal referenced a previous decision where the disallowance of interest on capital work-in-progress was reversed due to the availability of interest-free funds. As there were no material changes, the Tribunal decided to delete the disallowance based on the previous ruling.
