Maurya ORDER PER RAJENDRA SINGH, AM: This appeal by the assessee is directed against the order dated 13.5.2011 of CIT(A) for the assessment year 2007-08. The only dispute raised in this appeal is regarding disallowance of interest under section 36(1)(iii). 2. The facts in brief are that AO during the assessment proceedings noted that the assessee had made payment of ₹ 1,71,11,300/- for purchase of the property at Bharat Diamond Bourse which included a sum of ₹ 27,91,800/- paid during the year. Similarly, assessee had also paid a sum of ₹ 10.00 lacs for purchase of property at Gujarat Hira Bourse at Surat. The asse .....

Facts in this year are identical. Assessee during the year had own funds of ₹ 4.40 crores and interest from the borrowings ₹ 8.13 crores, in addition to current year profit of ₹ 75.00 lacs. In our view the payment of ₹ 27.91 lacs during the year is easily explained from own funds. Even the current year profit can easily explain source of such payment. We, therefore, see no reason of making addition. We therefore set aside the order of CIT(A) and delete the addition made. 5. In the result, appeal of the assessee is allowed for statistical purposes.
