Recurring annual maintenance charges for optical fibre network usage were treated as revenue expenditure, while upfront connectivity fees were to be amortised on a straight-line basis over the relevant 15-year contractual term, subject to agreement-wise verification. For exempt-income disallowance, own funds in excess of investments and use of borrowed funds for business supported denial of interest disallowance; administrative disallowance was confined to investments yielding exempt income and capped by exempt income earned. The text also notes that broadband network acquisition rights, goodwill arising on amalgamation, and non-compete fee can qualify as depreciable intangible assets, and that appellate authorities may entertain additional claims when facts are already on record.
