Therefore, in our view though the action of the CIT(A) is accepted in principle, the entire amount disallowed by the Assessing Officer could not have been deleted. As a consequence, it is directed that the total disallowance be fixed at ₹ 7,58,633/- (inclusive of suomoto disallowance of ₹ 6,07,845/- made by the assessee). - Decided partly in favour of revenue - ITA N .....

..... uently upholding the assessee's claim of different computations of disallowance u/s 14A of the Act for the purpose of computation of book profit u/s 115JB and for the purpose of computation of total income under the regular provisions of the Act, without appreciating that such different computations of disallowance u/s 14A have not been provided in Section 14A or in Section 115JB of the Act 4.

..... of Spray Engineering Pvt. Ltd. (53 SOT 70). 7. We have heard the rival submissions and perused the documents on record in the light of the respective submissions of the parties. The only grievance of the revenue is that the Ld. CIT(A) has wrongly deleted the addition of ₹ 65,76,251/- made by AO to the book profit of the assessee under section 14A of the Act. 8.
