The Assessing Officer during the course of assessment noted that the assessee has c redited the retention money as part of the revenue receipt but while computing the taxable income excluded the same out of the income chargeable to tax. It was also noted that in the earlier year, the assessee was following the mercantile system of accounting of the retention money on due basis and the auditor has not given any note in this regard. The Assessing Officer, therefore, treated the same as income of the assessee and made the addition. When the matter went before the ld. CIT(Appeals), l .....

Interest is credited from record date to record date and on the record date TDS has also been deducted on the whole of the interest between two record dates. This fact further supports the claim of the assessee that interest income on Bond accrues only on the record date. Further, the accrued interest has been offered for taxation in the next year and same accounting system is followed by the assesese in next year as evident from the copy of Income tax return for the assessment year 2008-09 along with details of interest income and short-term capital gain. So, there is no loss of rev enue. It is only deferment of income from one year to next year. Respectfully following the decision of .....

We noted that the Assessing Officer had disallowed the expenditure by invoking Rule 8D read with section 14A of the Income Tax Act. We noted that Rule 8D has been inserted by the Income Tax (5t h Amendment ) Rules, 2008 w.e.f. 24th March, 2008. Hon'ble Mumbai High Court in the caes of Godrej & Boyce Mfg. Co.

The impugned assessment is the assessment year 2007-08 while Rule 8D has been inserted w.e. f. 24t h March, 2008. Therefore, the Assessing Officer, in our opinion, is not correct in law in allowing the disallowance by applying Rule 8D. We .....

He also noted that the principal business of the assessee is undertaking cont ract work for the Government or semi- Government agencies. No canvassing is requi red to obtain such contract s. For allowability of commission payment one of the most important ingredient is the services rendered is missing in this case in absence of the supporting evidences. 21. Ld.
