Further, we find that the assessee has claimed interest paid to its partners as allowable deduction in accordance with Section 44AF(2) of the Act. The Ld. CIT (A) has not examined this issue in detail but brushed aside the claim of the assessee by stating that no evidence is available before him to establish that the interest has been actually paid to the partners.

Assessing Officer to examine the scope of the applicability of Section 44AF(2) of the Act and to pass appropriate order as per merit and law. 5.
