The same issue on almost identical facts came up in assessment year 2009-10 and 2010-11 also. The CIT(A) in these assessment years had decided the issue in favour of the assessee. Since the CIT(A) decided the issue in favour of assessee in preceding previous years, therefore he did not take a different view in the current assessment year 2011-12. Therefore, CIT(A) following the decision of the predecessor CIT(A) in the said two previous years, deleted the addition u/s 40a(ia) of the Act. 3.3 Not being satisfied with the order of CIT(A), the Revenue is in appeal before us.The Ld.

One set of accounts was reflected a consolidated picture of assessee's entire income and expenditure thereon. The other set of accounts depicted the exclusive picture of windmill account of Unit No. 1 and Unit No. 2. On perusal of windmill account of Unit No. 1, it was observed by the AO, that assessee had a profit of ₹ 32,62,326/- from the unit on which he claimed deducted u/s 80IA. Further, the assessee had booked only four expenses in the profit and loss account of the windmill the details of which is as under: Depreciation ₹ 2,38,099/- Interest on windmill loan Rs.2,20,722/- Insurance charges ₹ 36,792/- Windmill expenses Rs,11,76,080/- Total ₹ 16,71,693/- The interest on loan for windmill has been paid to State Bank of Mysore from which loan was taken for purchase of fixed asset for the windmill unit.

(v) That Balance Sheet of Wind Mill No. (1) clearly reflects, that there was Debit Balance of ₹ 1.10 Crores in Capital Account, which means Capital of Wind Mill Unit No.-1 amounting to ₹ 1.10 Crores is being used in other consolidated business of the assessee, and as such no other fund from consolidated business is used in the Wind Mill unit. (vi) That cash fund flow statement of Wind Mill for FY 2010-11, Asst. year 2011-12 (as on 31.03.2011) reflects the fact that total out flow of cash is covered by total cash inflow from the wind mill unit no. (1) and no other Loan and/or fund from consolidated Account has been used in Wind Mill business. Therefore, the assessee submitted that apportionment of interest expense to Wind Mill Unit no. (1) for AY 2011-12 cannot be made on above facts and apportionment of Interest expense made by ₹ 45.67 lacs in A.Y 2010-11 on similar facts was arbitrary, uncalled for.

Hence, a part of the loan reflected in consolidated account of the assessee has been used by the Windmill Unit No. 1 claiming 80-IA deduction. Current asset consists of the following: Closing stock ₹ 5302/- Stock-in-Trade ₹ 1189955/- Sundry Debtors ₹ 12691623/- Tamil Nadu Electricity Board ₹ 3912871/- Cash and Bank balance ₹ 3856103/- Loans and advances ₹ 35204017/- The AO noted that based on the above, it was clear that a part of the loan which is in the mixed fund has been utilized for running the windmill unit and also repayment of loan taken from State Bank of Mysore. The assessee has neither apportioned borrowed funds for running the windmill unit nor has debited any interest expense on loan used for running the windmill unit. Only i .....

The AO has reduced the said disallowed interest from the profit of wind mill claimed as ₹ 32,62,326/- and has thus assessed the profit from the said unit at ₹ 3,57,874/-. This apportionment has resulted in the addition of ₹ 29,04,452/-. 4.1.1. The AO has depicted on page 17 of his order profit and various items in respect of five assessment years. The table sums up the account of the unit since inception as presented by the assessee. The AO has thus pointed out that even in assessment year 2011-12 the own fund is negative and a loan of ₹ 6.2 crore was taken from State Bank of Mysore to purchase .....

On reading the two balance sheet for the said units it can be seen that about ₹ 2 crore of borrowings from common fund can be said to be in unit II but in unit I about ₹ 1.5 crore of loan can be said to find its way from the common fund. To elaborate it little more from ₹ 19 crore of consolidated cash flow as discussed hereinbefore on allowing about ₹ 16 crore of investment in TT about ₹ 3 crore of own fund or profit may be said to be available for allocation for asset or activities other than TT shares. The said ₹ 3 crore may be considered for allocation between unit I and II and keeping the un- depreciated value of wind mill assets in mind it can be seen that in unit I additional ₹ 1.5 crore of borrowings can be said to have been utilized from the common borrowings. The assessee cannot claim to have completely financed the unit I from indicated secured loan of ₹ 1.5 crore as common borrowings and common own fund along with profit and aggregate depreciation leave very little to explain or claim that unit I wind mill has utilized only indicated secured loan. Keeping in mind the fallacy or difficulty in the allocation formu .....

The ld Counsel pointed out before us that both the Ld. AO and CIT(A) have proceeded on presumption that the repayment was made out of consolidated or mixed fund and as such the borrowed funds were used for repayment of loan in Wind Mill No.1. The disallowance cannot be made on presumption. The Counsel submitted before us the cash flow statement. Wind Mill had debit in capital account and have received back such debit. The Counsel also submitted before us consolidated account. The payment from consociated fund was made out of receipt of Royalty Income and repayment of earlier loans which have been received back in the capital account. The entire amount is therefore out of the receipts other than the secured loan in consolidated fund. Therefore no part of the interest can be attributed to the secured loan and as such interest cannot be apportioned. Moreover, the loans in consolidated account were taken for business expediency and the entire interest was all ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
