So, the A.O. has made the addition of the interest of Rs.2,137/- accrued on the loan to Sri C.P. Singh. The A.O. also observed that the assessee had followed the provisions of Section 13(1) read with Section 13 (2) (a) of the Income Tax Act and added the net surplus of Rs.60,73,146/- as an income of the assessee-society. The CIT has confirmed the order passed by the A.O. However, in second appeal, the Tribunal has deleted the said additions and allowed the claim of the assessee. Not being satisfied, the department has filed the present appeal. With this background, Sri D. D. Chopra learned counsel for the appellant submits that as per the instruct .....

He further submits that the payment of loan cannot be held to be hit by Section 13 regarding the claim of exemption. The A.O. has wrongly made the addition on account of accrued interest only on exemption basis and the same may be deleted. On specific query from the Bench, he accepted that the assessee has charged the interest from other employees of educational institution. The assessee had duly accounted accrued interest on FDRs. He also submits that the assessee has wrongly denied the exemption under Section 11 primarily on the ground that it had contravened the provision of Sections 13(2); and Section 13 (1) (c) of the Act. Subclause (ii) of Section 13 (c) of the Act states that any part of income or prope .....

Singh in violation of the provisions of Section 13 (1)(c) of the Income Tax Act and also giving loan without any adequate surety in violation of Section 13 (2)(a) of the Act. In these circumstances, we are of the view that the A.O. has rightly denied the exemption to the assessee under Section 11 of the I.T. Act. It may be mentioned that in view of clause (c) of Section 13(1) rendering the entire income of Trust or charitable institution on liable to tax even if only part of income is directed to be applied for the benefit of the specified persons.
