Is it true that Rule 8D could render an assessee face more disallowances than the amount of exempt income? if yes, can anyone give an example to describe such a situation?
Thank you,

Section 14A disallowance under Rule 8D does not produce excess deduction beyond expenditures unrelated to dividend or LTCG.
Rule 8D does not create disallowances beyond proper allocation: expenses are claimable as business expenses when incurred in a business or adventure in the nature of trade or commerce, or for holding and carrying inventory, investment trading or capital assets; such expenditures are not expenses for earning dividend income or long term capital gains and thus are not to be treated as attributable to exempt income under disallowance rules.
