Debatable employees' PF/ESI contribution claims could not be disallowed through summary adjustment where, on the intimation date, jurisdictional High Court authority supported allowability of payments made before the return-filing due date. Retention of that adjustment in scrutiny without independent examination remained challengeable in appeal, and the AY 2018-19 disallowance was deleted. For exempt-income expenditure, only investments that actually yielded exempt income during the relevant year could be considered under section 14A and Rule 8D; no additional disallowance survived beyond the voluntary amount, and the related book-profit adjustment was also deleted for AY 2018-19. Charitable-contribution deductions were remitted solely to verify payment receipts and genuineness.
