The grounds of appeal read as under: 1. On the facts and in the circumstances of the case, Ld. CIT(A) erred in deleting the disallowance made u/s. 14A read with Rule 8D despite the express mandate to do so u/s. 14A of the IT Act. 2. On the facts and in the circumstances of the case, Ld. CIT(A) erred in that no disallowance u/s. 14A read with Rule 8D can be made when there is no exempt income despite there being no such condition stipulated in the IT Act. 3. On the facts and in the circumstances of the case, Ld. CIT(A) erred in deleting the addition of ₹ 2 crores being payment made to M/s.

The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal held that the provisions of Section 14A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 would not apply to the facts of this case as no exempt income was received or receivable during the relevant previous year. It is not the case of the Assessing Officer that any actual income was received by the assessee and the same was includible in the total income. In the facts of the case, the Authorities held that since the investments made by the assessee in the sister concerns were not the actual income received by the assessee, they could not have been included in the total income. The findings of facts recorded by both the Authorities do not give rise to any substantial question of law. Since no substantial question of law arises in this income tax appeal, the income tax appeal is dismissed with no order as to costs. 7. Principally following the precedent as above, we do not find .....

Welspun Maxsteel Ltd., is nothing but an accommodation entry arranged by one of the broker for generation of cash by debiting bogus expenses. I confirm that we have taken an accommodation entry to generate cash for expenditure. I have also taken a similar entry in the accounts of M/s.Welspun Syntex Ltd., for an amount ofRs.2 Cr in the current financial year. I take this opportunity to surrender this amount of ₹ 7 Cr (5 Cr in the hands of M/s.Welspun Maxsteel Ltd., 2 Cr in the hands of M/s.Welspun Syntex Ltd.,) as my unaccounted income generated by debiting bogus expenses and offer this amount as my .....
