Claim of deduction on interest/redemption premium on debentures - The CIT(A) has accepted assessee's explanation that it had quantified the premium as per the agreement dated 15.05.2010 spread over for three financial years. It is trite that a borrowing Company, which issues debentures incurs liability to pay larger amount than what it has borrowed. The assessee - Company has made provision for payment of premium and also paid TDS. The adverse finding recorded by the ITAT that the parties had changed the agreement to suit their convenience and that it is a 'make-believe' story is not supported by any cogent reason nor material on record and therefore, untenable. - HC
