D THAT:- In such type of cases the use of Telephone and Car for personal purposes cannot be ruled out, however the disallowance made by the A.O. and sustained by the Ld.CIT(A) @ 1/5th of the expenses appears to be excessive, I therefore to meet the ends of justice, deem it appropriate to restrict the disallowance to 1/10th of the expenses incurred by the assessee on Telephone, Car and depreciation instead of 1/5th worked out by the A.O. while restricting the above disallowance the A.O. should also give the benefit of the disallowance already made by the assessee - ITA No. 91/Chd/2019 - - - Dated:- 26-8-2019 - Shri.

The assessee submitted that no fresh loans had been raised during the year rather the loans had been squared up for which the interest was being paid in the past. The assessee filed the reply to the A.O. as under: Your Honour asked the assessee to justify the claim of interest paid u/s 57 of the act, against interest income, a reply to the same has already been submitted during the course of assessment proceedings on 15.03.2016.

Hope Your Honor would find the above position in order, and, shall proceed to adjudicate the appeal accordingly. 7. The Ld. CIT(A) inclined to agree with the contention of the A.O. and held that the assessee had failed in clear terms to distinguish between the source of borrowed funds or own funds for the purpose of claim under section 57 of the Act. Accordingly the disallowance of ₹ 15,44,043 made by the A.O. under section 57 of the Act was upheld. Reliance was placed on the following case laws: Smt. Padmawati Jaikrishna Vs. Addl.
