INCOME TAX ACT, 1961

Section 14A

As assessee did not earn any exempt income during the year under consideration, therefore, no disallowance could be made under section 14A.

Disallowance under section 14A - Expenditure against exempt income - No exempt income earned during the year -

AO noticed investment in assessee's balance-sheet and thus made disallowance under section 14A. Assessee pleaded to have earned no exempt income earned during the year. Held: It is an undisputed fact that the assessee did not earn any exempt income during the year under consideration and, therefore, in the absence of any exempt income, no disallowance could be made under section 14A.
