2014 (10) TMI 957 - AT - Income TaxTaxability relating to conversion of unpaid interest on SBI loan into a “fresh term loan” - disallowance invoking Explanation 3A of sec. 43B - Held that:- We notice that the ld. AR has furnished many factual details, which have not been examined at all by the tax authorities. Further, the ld. AR has rightly pointed out that Explanation 3A shall apply only for those payments for which the deduction had been allowed in assessment year 1996-97 and in the earlier years on accrual basis. However, since the Ld A.R has furnished various factual details and since they have not been examined by the tax authorities, we are of the view that this issue requires fresh consideration at the end of the AO. Accordingly, we set aside the order of the ld. CIT(A) on this issue and restore the same to the file of AO for his fresh examination in the light of discussion made supra. The AO is directed to examine the factual details furnished by the ld. AR and take appropriate decision in accordance with law after providing necessary opportunity of being heard to the assessee. Rejection of claim of set off of brought forward unabsorbed depreciation claimed against “Short Term Capital Gain” and “Long Term Capital Gain” - AO disallowed the said claim on the reasoning that unabsorbed depreciation, though gets merged with the current depreciation, can be carried forward indefinitely and can be set off only against “profit and gains” and not against any other income - Held that:- Unabsorbed depreciation can be set off against the “Business Income” or against the income derived from any “other source”, on the reasoning that the treatment given to current year depreciation would equally apply to brought forward depreciation also. Thus we set aside the order of ld. CIT(A) and direct the AO to allow the set off of unabsorbed depreciation against capital gains.
