..... pon the ruling of this Court in Cheminvest Limited vs. Commissioner of Income Tax-VI, (2015) 378 ITR 33 which ruled in the absence of any exempt income, disallowance under Section 14A of the Act of any amount was not permissible. Since the decision in Cheminvest Limited (supra) was followed, there is no substantial question of law that requires consideration. 17.
