Under the circumstances, the learned ITAT has not committed any error in deleting disallowance of deduction under Section 14A of the IT Act. - Decided against revenue Disallowance of deduction of Bad Debts - Held that:- The Revenue is not disputing that ₹ 12,00,000/- was towards Bad Debts due and payable by NIFCL with whom the assessee did the business upto 2000-01.
