..... l be made by taking into consideration only those shares which have yielded the dividend income for the A.Y under consideration and prayed to remand the issue involved in the appeal to the file of AO for his fresh verification. 8. On the other hand, the ld.DR relied on the orders of the AO CIT-A. 9. Heard both the parties and perused the record. We also find that the assessee earned dividend of ₹ 64,392/- and disallowance should not exceed the dividend income in terms of decision dt. 06-12- 2017 as relied on by the assessee. Admittedly, the AO made disallowance more than the dividend income as earned by the assessee. The order of this Co-ordinate Bench of this Tribunal in the case of REI Agro held that in order to make disallowance under Rule 8D(2) of the IT Rules, 1962 the AO has to give cogent reason for such disallowance. It is also held disallowance made under Rule 8D(2) and disallowance should be in relation to dividend income as earned. The Hon ble High Court of Calcutta in the case of supra upheld the above view of the Co-ordinate Bench of this Tribunal vide its order dt. 22-12-2013. Therefore, taking into consideration the law laid down by the Hon ble High Cou .....
