..... tment in tax free securities no disallowance of interest expenditure u/s 14A can be made.

This factual finding recorded on page 19 of the impugned order has not been controverted by the ld. DR. If the assessee offered disallowance of this magnitude, then naturally the total amount of disallowance u/s 14A ought to have been reduced with the amount already offered by the assessee. In the given circumstances, we sustain the disallowance u/s 14A read with Rule 8D(2)(iii) for a sum of ₹ 46,361/- (Rs.71,364/- (-) ₹ 25,003/-). Addition on account of downward sale .....

..... ne through the assessee s balance sheet, a copy of which has been placed on record. This balance sheet indicates the assessee s net worth at ₹ 70.85 crore. As against the shareholders fund of this magnitude, the assessee made investment in the Fund, yielding exempt dividend income, only to the tune of ₹ 1.00 crore and odd. This shows that investment in Funds is much less than the assessee s shareholder s fund.
