In fact, in the present case as well the assessee had given before us the proportionate deduction to be disallowed which is reproduced in para 6 in the form of Table. Thus, we direct the AO to allow expenditure for earning such interest income after considering deduction under Section 80P(2)(c)(ii) as allowed by the CIT(A) and restrict the addition accordingly.
