....t the disallowance of expenditure under section 14A, of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (for short "the Act"). 3. Both the learned Representatives agree before us that the Hon'ble Jurisdictional High Court in Godrej & Boyce Mfg. Co. Ltd. v/s DCIT, (2010), 328 ITR 081 (Bom.), has partly reversed the Mumbai Special Bench decision of the Tribunal in Daga Capital Management Pvt. Ltd. [2008] 119 TTJ (Mum.) 289 (SB). Under these circumstances, we deem it appropriate to set aside the impugned order passed by the Commissioner (Appeals) and restore the issue to the file of Assessing Officer for denovo adjudication in line with the propositions laid down by the Hon'ble Jurisdictional High Court in Godrej & Boyce Mfg. Co. Ltd. (supra). This ground is,....

....and no disallowance is warranted. 9. The learned Departmental Representative, on the other hand, submitted that the evidence was not before the authorities below. The issue in question is payment of provisional premium for renewal of group insurance and the same was in lieu of deposit linked insurance premium which was due to 1st June 2000.

.... the loans and advances appeared in Schedule-I of the Balance Sheet and from sundry debtors appearing in Schedule-G of the balance sheet. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in Vijaya Bank v/s CIT, [2010] 323 ITR 166 (SC), held as follows:- "However, if an assessee debits provision for doubtful debts to the profit and loss account and makes a corresponding credit to the "current liabilities and provisions" on the liabilities side of the balance sheet, then it would constitute a provision for doubtful debt. In the later case, the assessee would not be entitled to deduction after April 1, 1989." 14. The Hon'ble Karnataka High Court in Yokogawa India Ltd.

....fected. In that view of the matter, we do not see any merit in this appeal." 2. Respectfully following the aforesaid judgment of the Hon'ble Karnataka High Court in Yokogawa India Ltd. (supra), we allow this ground of the assessee. We now consider admission of additional grounds. 15. Learned Departmental Representative strongly opposed the admission of additional grounds, as the relevant facts are not available on record. It was submitted that the issues require investigation of facts. 16. Learned Counsel for the assessee submitted that the annual report is on record insofar as additional ground no.1 is concerned and that the Assessing Officer considered the issue of taxability of rental income based on written submission given ....
