Tribunal remands case for interest verification but dismisses claim for depreciation on assets.
The Tribunal partially allowed the appeal, remanding the case for further verification on the disallowance of interest under section 36(1)(iii) of the Act. The Tribunal dismissed the claim for depreciation on electrical installations and furniture and fixtures as the assets were not used for the appellant's business.
Issues: 1. Disallowance of interest under section 36(1)(iii) of the Act. 2. Disallowance of depreciation claimed on electrical installations and furniture and fixtures.
Issue 1 - Disallowance of interest under section 36(1)(iii) of the Act: The appellant challenged the disallowance of interest under section 36(1)(iii) of the Act, arguing that all borrowed funds were utilized for business purposes. The Assessing Officer disallowed the interest, considering advances made to sister concerns without interest. The CIT(A) upheld the disallowance partially. The appellant contended that interest was a business expenditure and that there were sufficient free funds to support the advances. The Tribunal remanded the case to the AO to verify the cash flow statement for the relevant period to determine the availability of funds at the time of advancing to sister concerns. The Tribunal directed a pragmatic approach considering business exigency.
Issue 2 - Disallowance of depreciation claimed on electrical installations and furniture and fixtures: The AO disallowed the depreciation claimed on electrical installations and furniture and fixtures, stating that deductions had already been claimed under a different section. The Tribunal considered the assets integral to the rented premises for which a standard deduction of 30% was allowed under Section 24 of the Act. As the assets were not used for the appellant's business, the Tribunal dismissed the appellant's claim for depreciation.
In conclusion, the Tribunal allowed the appeal partly for statistical purposes, remanding the case for further verification on the disallowance of interest under section 36(1)(iii) and dismissing the claim for depreciation on electrical installations and furniture and fixtures.
