ITAT held that where interest on unsecured loans was genuinely incurred for business purposes, the dispute could be confined only to the year of allowability under the mercantile system. As no finding was recorded that the interest was bogus, non-business, or lacking bona fides, disallowance of the portion claimed in the relevant year could not be sustained merely because it might be deductible in the next year. Shifting the deduction period was treated as revenue neutral, and the addition for alleged excess interest expenditure was deleted.
