....e to the Assessment Year (AY.) 2018-19. 2. The assessee is engaged in the business of trading in fabrics, Real estate renting services, undertaking F & O activities in stock market etc. 3. We shall first take up the appeal filed by the Revenue. The first issue relates to the head of income, under which the rental income earned by the assessee is required to be assessed. The assessee owned properties and had given them on rent. It earned rental income of Rs. 3,88,14,052/- from those two properties. The assessee declared the same as income under the head "Income from House Property". The AO, however, took the view that the assessee has collected rent under the name "Licence Fees" and hence the same should constitute its business income.....

.... notice that the Ld CIT(A) has also taken support of Principle of Consistency, which, in our view, cannot be faulted with in this case. Accordingly, we are of the view that the Ld CIT(A) was justified in holding that the rental income received by the assessee is assessable under the head "Income from House Property". 5. The next issue urged by the Revenue relates to the treatment of loss incurred by the assessee in F & O Transactions as normal business loss and not as speculation loss as held by the AO. The assessee had incurred loss of Rs. 14,99,282/- in F & O transactions as speculation loss and accordingly held that the same could be set off against speculation gain only. The AO also recorded a fact that the broker note issued by M/s ....

....he Ld CIT(A) with regard to the noting made in the broker note was also not proved to be incorrect by the Revenue. Under these set of facts, we do not find any infirmity in the order passed by Ld CIT(A) on this issue. 7. We shall now take up the Cross objection filed by the assessee. The only issue urged by the assessee is related to the disallowance made by the AO u/s 14A of the Act. 8. The Ld A.R submitted that the assessee did not earn any exempt income during the year under consideration from out of the investments held by it. However, the assessee disallowed a sum of Rs. 14,200/- voluntarily in the return of income. The AO, however, computed the disallowance u/s 14A of the Act as per Rule 8D of IT Rules and accordingly disallowed....
