Thus we notice that the assessee has done an accounting adjustment only, which may not lead to double deduction as presumed by the AO. Accordingly, following the order passed by the Tribunal in AY 2009-10, we confirm the relief granted by learned CIT(A) on this issue. Disallowance of interest expenditure relating to loan given to the subsidiary - AO noticed that the assessee has advanced interest free loan to its subsidiary, group and associate companies, accordingly he disallowed proportionate interest expenditure u/s 36(1)(iii) - HELD THAT:- We notice that the Tribunal has deleted identical disallowance made in the earlier years on the ground that the loans to subsidiaries group companies have been given out of own funds.

The first issue relates to disallowance of expenses under section 14A of the Act. 5. During the year under consideration the assessee did not receive any dividend and hence did not make any disallowance under section 14A of the Act. The Assessing Officer however computed disallowance as per Rule 8D and accordingly disallowed a sum of Rs. 67,77,174/- under rule 8D(2)(iii), being 0.5% of average value of investment. The Learned CIT(A) deleted the disallowance by following the decision rendered by him in A.Y. 2009-10 2010-11. 6. We have heard the parties on this issue. Since the assessee has not earned in dividend income, no disallowance is called for as per the decision rendered by Hon'ble Delhi High Court in the case of PCIT Vs.
