He without recording any reasoning for his dissatisfaction with regard to the working/claim of the assessee, straightway applied Rule 8D against the mandate of the provisions of section 14A of the Income Tax Act. The ld. CIT(A) also ignored the mandate of the provisions of section 14 A, while confirming the disallowance. So keeping in view of the overall facts and circumstances of the case, we restore this issue back to the file of the AO with a direction that the AO will give opportunity to the assessee to place on record all the relevant facts including its accounts and then examine the computation/calculation made in this regard by the assessee having regard to the accounts of the assessee. The AO will be at liberty to call for any record/evidences or statement etc. from the assessee as may be required by him for deciding the issue under consideration. After going through the details provided by the assessee, the AO will decide the issue by way of a speaking order in the light of the observations made above. Disallowance of in .....

CIT(A) for A.Y. 2006-07 have been reversed by the Tribunal by order dated 21.08.13 and it is also an admitted fact that the investment pattern/ share transaction activity is almost identical to that of the earlier assessment year, hence, applying the same ratio and for the sake of principle of consistency, we hold that the short term capital loss returned by the assessee has to be treated as such and not as business income of the assessee. This issue is accordingly decided in favour of the assessee. 6. Vide Ground No.2, the assessee has agitated the disallowance of ₹ 24,92,047/- under section 14A of the Act in relation to the expenditure incurred for earning of exempt income. The AO found that the assessee had earned exempt dividend income. The assessee had incurred interest and other expenses for earning of such dividend income. He, therefore, computed the disallowance under section 14A read with rule 8D at ₹ 24,92,047/- and added back the same into the income of the assessee. During the appellate proceedings before the Ld. CIT(A), the assessee submitted that the AO h ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... he disallowance .
