Section 68 was largely satisfied where the assessee produced the lender's registration, PAN, bank statements, debenture documents, confirmation and source-of-source material; nil income alone did not negate creditworthiness, so only limited third-party verification under section 133(6) was left open if the Assessing Officer still needed the lender's accounts. Interest disallowance under section 40A(2)(b) failed because the lender was only a creditor, not shown to be a covered related concern, and no basis existed for adopting 6% as a reasonable rate. Proportionate interest disallowance under section 36(1)(iii) was deleted since the borrowing was for working capital, not capital asset acquisition. A flat 10% ad hoc expense disallowance was set aside for fresh verification. CSR disallowance was upheld, and TDS credit was directed to be verified.
