ITAT Decision Summary: The ITAT upheld the assessee's claims across multiple taxation issues. The tribunal rejected proportionate disallowance of interest expenditure under section 36(1)(iii), finding that advances to subsidiary companies promote business interests. Foreign travel expenditure was partially disallowed due to lack of business substantiation. Expenses for obtaining property approval were deemed allowable as directly related to share transfer value. The tribunal also rejected Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) adjustments on goodwill impairment, noting the debits did not contravene statutory provisions. Regarding flat booking rates, the tribunal affirmed that variations in booking prices do not automatically indicate suppressed income, supporting the CIT(A)'s findings based on absence of corroborative evidence.
