In this appeal, however .....

However, the AO rejected the contention of the assessee and held that the Assessee Company has failed to bring anything on record to substantiate their claim of not incurring expenditure in earning the exempt income. From perusal of accounts it wasnoted by AO that the assessee has both borrowed funds and own funds. There has been investment in the past years also and the investment in the current year also. During the year also the assessee has purchased as well as sold shares and mutual funds. This isevident from the share transaction details. From examination of accounts it was evident that the assessee has utilized even borrowed funds for making investment. The AO noted that theprovisions of Rule 8D were on the statute book for the F.Y. 2008-09 andfor A.Y.2009-10, the disallowance can only be computed as per Rule 8D of the Income Tax Rules and this way the AO computed the disallowance as per Rule 8D as follows: (i) Expenditure directly relating to exempt income = Rs. NIL (ii) Interest paid A B C = X A = Interest = ₹ 3,14,456/ .....

So far the disallowance of ₹ 1,71,253/- under Rule 8D (2) (ii) is concerned, it is the proportionate interest expenses which was computed by the assessing officer on the basis of prescribed formula. We note that assessee has claimed interest expenses to the tune ₹ 3,14,456/- and offered interest income to the tune of ₹ 55,68,925/- for taxation during the relevant assessment year. After setting off interest expenses with interest income, a net interest income comes to the tune of ₹ 52,54,469/- ( that is, ₹ 55,68,925 - ₹ 3,14,456). The said net interest income of ₹ 52,54,469/- has been offered by the assessee for tax during the relevant assessment year. Based on these facts we note that there is no interest expenses debited in the profit and loss account. After setting off interest expense with interest income, the resulted amount of ₹ 52,54,469/- comes as a net interest income which can not be disallowed under Rule 8D (2) (ii) of the Income Tax Rules. Therefore, we note that there is no interest expenditure in .....

For addition of ₹ 1,90,049/- under Rule 8D (2) (iii) of the Income Tax Rules, 1962, we direct the assessing officer to compute the disallowance @0.5% only taking into account the investments which yield dividend income, during the previous year, as per the discussion made in the case of REI Agro Ltd. (supra). 10. Next grievance raised by the assesseeis as follows: The CIT(A) erred in not allowing TDS credit to the tune of ₹ 60,004/- on mobilization advance and not entire contract receipts were received in the relevant Assessment Year. 11. The brief facts qua the issue are that from the reconciliation of TDS certificates and advances received, it was observed by the AO that the assessee has claimed the TDS credit of ₹ 60,004/- in respect of receipts which are accounted as advances. On queried, during the assessment proceedings, the assessee replied to the assessing officer as follows: R.D.
