..... the assessment years 2002-03 to 2006-07. Since common and identical issues are involved in all these appeals, these are clubbed together and disposed off by this combined order for the sake of convenience. 2. First we will take up the appeals filed the assessee in ITA Nos. 376 to 380/Hyd/2010. The only grievance of the assessee is with regard to the disallowance of interest paid to the bank and financial institutions by the department on the ground that the assessee has not offered the interest income earned by it in its profit and loss account.

At present, the unit cost of the house is Rs.25,000/-, which comprises of subsidy of Rs.7,000/-, loan of Rs.17,500/- and the beneficiary contribution of Rs.500/-.

On the other hand, the learned departmental representative submitted that the assessee company has not maintained nor filed any account for the interests received from the beneficiaries. Similarly, the details of actual collections of principal and interest amount separately from its beneficiaries were also not filed before the assessing officer and the same were not produced even before the CIT (A) for his perusal on the date of hearing before him.

..... t to various commercial banks and financial institutions. Hence, we allow the grounds raised by the assessee on this issue. However, we direct the assessee Corporation to furnish the details of interests received from its beneficiaries for all the assessment years under consideration and we direct the assessing officer to treat the said interest receipts as the income of the assessee Corporation in the respective assessment years. Accordingly, the ground raised by the assessee is partly allowed as indicated above. ITA No.381/Hyd/10- Assessment year 2006-07:- 6.
