We find from the above proposition and the facts of the case that the AO has not at all recorded the satisfaction for rejecting the claim of expenditure suo moto disallowed by assessee in relation to exempt income. Once this is the position, we are of the view that the CIT(A) has rightly deleted the disallowance. Accordingly, we confirm the order of CIT(A). 7.
