2016 (9) TMI 1205 - AT - Income TaxAddition u/s 14A - Held that:- The Hon’ble Delhi High Court in the case of Joint Investment Private Limited (2015 (3) TMI 155 - DELHI HIGH COURT) has held that section 14 of the Act or rule 8D cannot be interpreted so as to mean that the entire tax exempt income of the assessee is to be disallowed. That the window for disallowance is indicated in Section 14A, and is only to the extent of disallowing expenditure incurred by the assessee in relation to the tax exempt income. This proportion or portion of the tax exempt income surely cannot swallow the entire amount of tax exempt income. As the assessee has claimed exempt dividend income of ₹ 6,75,076/- and exempt long term capital gain of ₹ 19,62,821/-. The AO, however, made a disallowance of ₹ 2,65,36,592/- in relation to expenditure incurred for earning of the above exempt income. The assessee itself has disallowed an amount of ₹ 4,70,062/- in its computation of income. Considering the proposition of law laid down the disallowance in this case is restricted to the extent that is suo-moto offered by the assessee at ₹ 4,70,062/-. In view of the above, the appeal of the assessee is treated as partly allowed
