The ITAT upheld the CIT(A)'s decision to delete the addition for under-valuation of closing stock, emphasizing that stock statements provided to banks for credit purposes cannot solely determine tax values without independent verification. Regarding disallowance u/s 14A for investment in shares, it was held that if there is no claim of exempted income, Section 14A does not apply, especially when no expenditure was incurred for the investments. The ITAT also supported the CIT(A)'s deletion of the disallowance towards interest on unpaid purchase price, noting the contractual obligation and the vendor's monopoly. Additionally, the disallowance towards insurance expenses for Keyman Insurance Policies was dismissed as the policies benefitted the company, not individual directors.
