As the facts being identical respectfully following the said decision, we direct the Assessing Officer to carry out similar exercise as directed by the Tribunal in the order for the A.Y. 2005-06 to A.Y. 2007-08 and decide accordingly. Disallowance of amortization of premium paid on leasehold land - HELD THAT:- As decided in own case [2019 (4) TMI 1809 - ITAT MUMBAI] amortization of lease premium over the lease period was capital in nature and hence, not allowable to the assessee. The ground of assessee's appeal stands dismissed. Disallowance u/s. 14A r.w.s 8D(2)(iii) - HELD THAT:- As decided in own case we restore this issue to the file of the Assessing Officer to follow the directions of the Tribunal for the A.Y. 2004-05 to 2007-08 [2019 (4) TMI 1809 - ITAT MUMBAI] and recompute the disallowance in accordance with the directions therein. We also direct the Assessing Officer to recompute the disallowance keeping in view the decision of the special bench of Delhi in the case of ACIT v. Vireet Investments Private Limited [2017 (6) TMI 1124 - ITAT DELHI] Disallowance of lease equalization charges - HELD THAT:- As decided in own case only real income i.e. finance income should be taxed for the purpose of Income Tax which can be arrive only after applying such method which is prescribed in the guidance note. Therefore, we are of the considered view that prima-facie, the issue is settled by the decision of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, however, consistent with view taken by the Co-ordinate Bench for earlier years, we restore this issue to the file of the AO and direct him to decide computation of lease equalisation reserve in accordance with the direction of Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Virtual Soft Systems Ltd. [2018 (4) TMI 1472 - SUPREME COURT] Disallowance of depreciation on toll road - HELD THAT:- As decided in own case as already directed the Ld. AO to tax the estimated income from the toll road, as a logical consequence, the assessee becomes entitled to claim the depreciation on the toll road. After considering the cited decisions relied upon by respective representative, we find that since the assessee is not the owner of the toll road, depreciation thereupon could not be allowed to him. However, depreciation on the same as intangible assets being ‘any other business or commercial rights of similar nature’ as per Section 32 would be available to the assessee in terms of decision of Special Bench of the Tribunal, Hyderabad rendered in Progressive Constructions Ltd. Vs. ACIT [2017 (3) TMI 1167 - ITAT HYDERABAD] Respectfully following the cited decision, we direct so. The Ld. AO is directed to re-compute the same and grant depreciation thereupon as intangible assets. Addition based on the information of AIR transaction - HELD THAT:- This matter has to go back to the Assessing Officer in view of the submission that the assessee has not entered into any transaction in respect of the addition made to the extent of ₹.2.41 Crores. Thus, we restore this issue to the file of the Assessing Officer with a direction to Assessing Officer to furnish necessary information to the assessee so as to reconcile the transactions by the assessee. The Assessing Officer shall provide complete details in respect of the transactions for the purpose of the reconciliation by the assessee. Disallowance of interest on loan given to IL & FS Employees Welfare Trust - HELD THAT:- It is the finding of the Ld. CIT(A) that the assessee has not proved that the loan is given for the purpose of business of the assessee. Even before us the assessee could not substantiate that the loan has been given for the purpose of business of the assessee. In the circumstances, we are not inclined the disturb the finding of the Ld. CIT(A) hence, the action of the Ld.CIT(A) is sustained. Ground raised by the assessee is rejected.
