Inviting our attention to pages 6 and 7 of the paper book, the learned AR contended that the payment towards power project was made during financial year 2003-04, therefore the interest payment on the loan taken from Bank of Baroda has no connection with windmill project. The learned AR further contended that the assessee has started generating income from windmill during the financial year 2004- 05 and by the time the loan was taken from Bank of Baroda, the windmill had already started gener .....
