ITAT Overturns Order: Remands Income Computation Error for Correction, Revises Disallowances u/s 14A.
The ITAT allowed the appeal of the assessee, a company trading in agro commodities, by setting aside the Ld.CIT(A)'s order. The ITAT found merit in the claim of an error in the computation of total income and remanded the issue to the AO for verification and correction. Additionally, the ITAT directed the AO to delete the disallowance under Rule 8D(2)(ii) and reconsider the disallowance under Rule 8D(2)(iii) concerning section 14A of the Income Tax Act, after verifying the average value of investments. The AO is instructed to proceed in accordance with the law.
Issues: 1. Error in the computation of total income in the assessment order. 2. Addition made under section 14A of the Income Tax Act.
Analysis:
Issue 1: Error in the computation of total income The appellant, a company engaged in trading agro commodities, challenged the assessment order for AY 2016-17 due to an error in the computation of total income. The AO determined the total income at Rs. 16,82,668, but the computation sheet showed it as Rs. 36,69,410 without explanation. The ITAT found merit in the appellant's claim of an error in the computation and remanded the issue to the AO for verification and correction, if necessary.
Issue 2: Addition made under section 14A of the Act The AO disallowed a sum under Rule 8D(2)(ii) and (iii) of the Income Tax Rules, 1962, for not making any disallowance under section 14A despite earning exempt share income. The appellant argued that the overdraft facility obtained in 2014 was used for day-to-day activities, not investments made in 2000-01. Citing a Gujarat High Court decision, the ITAT agreed that no disallowance was warranted. The ITAT directed the AO to delete the disallowance under Rule 8D(2)(ii) and reconsider the disallowance under Rule 8D(2)(iii) after verifying the average value of investments.
In conclusion, the ITAT allowed the appeal of the assessee, setting aside the order of the Ld.CIT(A) on both issues and providing specific directions to the AO for further proceedings in accordance with law.
