Therefore, ITAT do not find any reason as to why the issue is to be set aside to the file of the AO. Appeal decides in favour of assessee Disallowance of interest expense - The bank granted overdraft facilities for business purposes – AO made addition on basis that assessee has surplus funds in the form of undistributed profits of the earlier year – Addition made on presumption that the surplus funds have to be held as used for giving money to directors/sister c .....

..... nd hence there can be no question of disallowance on the ground that there is speculation loss. He submitted calculations and argued that the CIT (A) has verified the same. Alternatively, he submitted that the Tribunal in the case of G.K.Anand Bros.Buildwell (P) Ltd. vs . I.T.O. - (2009) 34 SOT 439 (Del), has held that the loss emanating from futures and options transactions is to be treated speculation loss from 1.4.2006.

It was a case where the assessee received net gain from transactions in futures and options, done between 1.4.2005 to25.01.2006.This factual finding is not found fault with by the Ld. DR. AO has no basis for arriving at a derivative trading loss of Rs. 58,26,886/-. Thus, on facts we uphold the order the learned CIT(A) on this issue. Even otherwise the decisions in the case of G.K.ANAND BROS.BUILDWELL(P) LTD. vs. INCOME TAX OFFICER (2009) 34 SOT 439(Del) and Pradeep Kumar Harlaka Vs. ACIT(2012) 65 DTR 157/143TTJ 446 (Mum.)(Trib.) are in favour of the assessee. In the result ground No. 1 is dismissed. Ground No. 2 is against the deletion of an addition made on the ground that the assessee has unexplained cash credits. The deta .....

This proposition is laid down by the Supreme Court in the case of Munjal Sales Corporation Vs. Commissioner of Income Tax and Another 298 ITR 298 (S.C). The Hon ble Bombay High Court has in the case of Reliance Utilities Limited 313 ITR 340 (Bombay) held that where the assessee has own funds as well as borrowed funds and it advanced funds to the sister concern for allegedly non business purposes, then a presumption can be made that the advances for non-business purposes have been made out of own funds. Hence we uphold the order on this issue and dismiss this ground of Revenue. In the r .....
