Purposive interpretation of residential house exemption: unregistered purchase agreement alone does not defeat relief, but investment must be verified...
ITAT upheld the PCIT's revision under s.263, holding the assessment to be erroneous and prejudicial to revenue for permitting a one-time deduction of accumulated foreign exchange loss on ECB repayment. Applying AS-11/ICDS-VI principles, the Tribunal confirmed that exchange differences must be recognized at each balance-sheet date and only the current-year fluctuation (Rs. 2,34,703.29 as found by PCIT) is allowable; the assessee's claimed deduction of Rs. 28,72,92,351/- was disallowed. The matter was set aside to the AO for fresh determination in accordance with PCIT's directions, affording the assessee an opportunity to be heard.
