In fact, this investment is being written off by the appellant over a period of 25 years. Though I am not in agreement with the claim of the appellant that disallowance should not be made u/s.14A of the IT Act in respect of investment of ₹ 79,36,65,729 in the shares of Mahindra Gears Transmissions Pvt Ltd., because it is a strategic investment but I am in agreement with the claim of the appellant that no disallowance should be made u/s.14A of the IT Act in respect of this .....
