In view of the fact that the assessee did not offer any disallowance u/s 14A, the Assessing Officer, after giving due notice to the assessee and recording proper reasons, made disallowance at Rs. 19,40,796/- as per Rule 8D.

Once this is the case, there can be no question of attributing interest claimed in the profit and loss account to such investments. If there is no interest attributable to the investments bearing exempt in .....
