....espect of dividend income and volume of transactions for the remaining taxable income and the entire disallowance cannot be deleted on the basis of this Tribunal decision. 5.1 Now we examine the applicability of the judgment of Hon'ble Delhi High Court rendered in the case of Maxopp Investment Ltd. & Ors. Vs. CIT [2011] 064 DTR 0122. As per this judgment of Hon'ble Delhi High Court, Rule 8D is prospective and is not applicable retrospectively. Regarding disallowance of expenditure u/s 14A for the earlier period, it was held that the A.O. has to first give this finding that he is not satisfied with the correctness of the claim of the assessee in respect of such expenditure or the claim that no expenditure is incurred for earning exempt income and then to determine the amount of such expenditure as per a reasonable and acceptable method of apportionment. In this regard, we find that it is noted by the Assessing Officer on page 5 of the assessment order that the assessee has not been able to give details of expenses incurred in relation to exempted income. On this basis, he has given a finding that he is not satisfied with the correctness of the claim of the assessee in respec....
