Departmental Representative, submitted that the first issue arises for consideration is with regard to disallowance of proportionate interest on the funds diverted for non-business purpose. The Ld.

....e of business. If the assessee made advance from the funds available with him, then there is no question of disallowance. The availability of funds to the extent of Rs. 15,27,009/- including the current year's profit of Rs. 3,85,910/- is not in dispute. The opening balance as on 1.4.2006 was Rs. 11,40,100/-.

....y, he deleted the same. The Ld. D.R. submitted that the details of account payee demand draft were not produced before the Assessing Officer. The assessee has produced additional evidence before the CIT(Appeals) and therefore, the Assessing Officer had no occasion to consider the same.

....Smt. T. Rajalakshmi, it is not in dispute that the assessee has received the funds through account payee demand draft. The only contention of the Ld. D.R. is that the details were produced before the CIT(Appeals). However, he has not taken any specific ground with regard to violation of Rule 46A. The fact remains that the Assessing Officer made an addition of Rs. 2,00,000/- and the CIT(Appeals) found that the payment was made through DD and therefore, there is no question of any addition. In those circumstances, this Tribunal do not find any reason to interfere with the order of the lower authority and accordingly, the same is confirmed. 10. Now coming to the addition of Rs. 8,50,000/-, the Ld. D.R. submitted that the assessee has not ad....
