1965 (12) TMI 22 - SUPREME COURT

Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was right in law in holding that the sum of rupees 84,633 expended by the assessee in obtaining the loan or any part thereof is an allowable expenditure ?

Held that:- The expenditure of ₹ 84,633 was not in the nature of capital expenditure and was laid out or expended wholly and exclusively for the purpose of the assessee's business. The answer to the question referred, therefore, must be in the affirmative. The appeal is allowed, the judgment of the High Court set aside and the question referred answered in the affirmative.
