No notional interest ought to be calculated for capiialization. In order to fortify ourselves, we would like to refer to the decision of Hon'ble Bombay High Court in the case of CIT Vs. Reliance Utilities & Power Ltd.[2009 (1) TMI 4 - BOMBAY HIGH COURT] - Decided in favour of assessee. - ITA No. 1401/Ahd/2017 - - - Dated:- 25-3-2019 - SHRI RAJPAL YADAV, JUDICIAL MEMBER AND SHRI WASEEM AHMED, ACCOUNTANT MEMBER For The Assessee : Shri S.N.

The discussion made by the ld.CIT(A) in this respect reads as under: h) Without prejudice to what is stated above, even if your Honor is of the view that disallowance shall be made in respect of interest expense than it should be made by taking interest rate @9.75% as per the terms of CDR to the company instead of 10.75%. We would further like to state that similar view has been already accepted by the Hon'ble CIT(A)-1 in companies appeal for AY.2013-14. 2.3.

Since no new fund has been raised by way of term loan by the appellant company, it is quite clear that such amount has been paid out of interest free loan, internal cash accruals and paid up capital of the company. The reliance has been placed on the decision High Court in the case of Commissioner of Income Tax Vs.

It would be appropriate and fair to adopt the interest at the rate of 9.75% for the calculation of interest on capital work on progress. This view has also been taken in the earlier years in the appellant case by the CIT(A)1 where he had hold that interest on capital work in progress should be calculated at the rate of 9.75% and not at the rate of 12%. In view of the above discussion and following the decision of my predecessor for earlier assessment years, the assessing officer is directed to calculate the interest on capital work on progress on daily basis at the rate of 9.75% on the amount of ₹ 4,83,38,831 ATMs ground of appeal is partly allowed .
