Rule 8D disallowance requires the Assessing Officer to record specific dissatisfaction, after examining the taxpayer's working, before indirect expenditure relating to exempt income can be disallowed; general observations on investments are insufficient. Where own interest-free funds cover exempt-income investments, a presumption applies that those investments were made from such funds, preventing interest disallowance. Eligible captive power undertakings may compute profits on a standalone basis, use regulated industrial tariffs as an internal comparable for captive electricity, and claim investment allowance when capital work-in-progress is installed and commissioned during the year.

Subsidies linked to technology-upgradation investment are capital receipts, while scheme-based incentives require factual examination.
