[Asked by Guest]

[CAGOPALJI AGRAWAL]

If the interest expense is not connected with your business income, it would not be allowed. But a more detailed case study is required based on facts so better you consult your CA in this regard. There are several favourable and unfavourable precedences in this regard.

i am doctor and tax audit is done for last 12 years and return is always submitted by CA, i am not sure why this issue is raised in my scrutny. 

AI Summary

Interest disallowance: lack of business nexus can lead to addition in income; seek detailed professional review.
The central operative point is that interest expense is not allowable if not connected with the taxpayer's business income; determining allowability requires a detailed fact-specific study and professional advice because precedents on nexus and disallowance are mixed.
