CIT (A) erred in directing the AO to allow the entire DMA commission as a deduction against the income of the year without appreciating the ratio of the decision of the Apex Court in the case of Madras Industrial Investment Corporation [225 ITR 802] in which it was held that only proportionate expenditure vis-a-vis revenue on a matching principle should be allowed, since allowing the entire expenditure in one year would give a distorted picture of the profits of a particular year." 2.

Disallowance of expenditure U/S.14A The learned CIT (A) has erred in law and in facts in confirming the disallowance u/s. 14A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 ("the Act") read with rule 8D of the Income Tax Rules, 1962 ("the Rules") The learned CIT(A) ought to have appreciated that there is no nexus of expenses incurred with the exempt income.

Thus, where the liability on this account accrues from year to year, the same is payable on retirement/ resignation of the eligible employees. In view thereof, the ratio of the judgment of the Supreme Court in Metal Box Company of India Ltd. v. Their Workmen [1969] 73 ITR 53 (SC) and Bharat Earth Movers v. CIT [2000] 245 ITR 428 (SC) would clearly get attracted. Respectfully following the decision of the Delhi High Court, we do not find any merit for the disallowance so made by the lower authorities. 21.
