ITA NO. 1614/Mum/2011 (Revenue's appeal for A.Y. 2006-07). 2. The Revenue has raised seven substantive grounds of appeal. Ground No. 1, 2 & 3 relates to the deletion of the addition made u/s 14A read with Rule 8-D of the Income Tax Rules, 1962. 3. Admittedly, the A.O. has computed the disallowance u/s 14A read with Rule 8-D. It is a settled law that Rule 8-D is applicable from A.Y. 2008-09, hence, not applicable for the year as held by the Hon'ble Bombay High Court in the case of Godrej and Boyce Mfg. Co. Ltd. Vs.

....s of the ld. CIT(A). Ground No. 3 & 4 of the assessee's appeal are accordingly dismissed. 14. Ground No. 5 relaters to the computation of book profit u/s 115JB of the Act. In our considered opinion, this grievance of the assessee is consequential, therefore, we direct the A.O. to re-compute the book profit u/s 115JB of the Act after giving the appeal effect to our decision.
