AO wrongly made the addition by holding that assessee itself added back notional interest from 25.5.2007 which is though a fact but the interest was added back on amounts advanced which was over and above the sale consideration.

..... n the computation of income. However, such interest for the period 1.4.2007 to 24.5.2007 has not been added. The action of the Assessing Officer in therefore adding the interest for this period @ 13.8%, as adopted by the appellant is justified. The order of Hon'ble ITAT for the assessment year 2007-08 is respectfully not followed in the year under consideration as the facts are different.

Therefore, it can be concluded that till the conclusion of sale deed amounts advanced continued to be for acquisition of assets for which Hon'ble Tribunal had already made a finding and had deleted the notional interest in earlier year. The assessee has passed an entry for purchase of asset on 2.7.2007 which is apparent from paper book page 3 where a copy of account of vendor is placed.
