The two fold contentions of the assessee before us is, that the disallowance may be restricted to exempt income earned and only investments yielding exempt income should be considered for making disallowance under section 14A of the Act. The Special Bench of the Tribunal in the case of M/s. Vireet Investment Pvt. Ltd.(supra) has held that while computing disallowance under section 14A r.w. Rule 8D(2)(iii) only those investments that yield exempt income should be considered for computing average value of investments The second contention of the assessee that disallowance under section 14A of the Act should be restricted to the extent ofexempt income earned is supported by the judgment of Hon ble Punjab Haryana High Court in the case of PCIT vs. State Bank of Patiala (supra). The SLP filed against the said judgment was dismissed by the Hon ble Apex Court.

Thereafter, on the due dates, the assessee has redeemed those debentures. For the purpose of accounting, the entire liability was shown as a liability at the price paid by the nominee of the assessee. In the balance sheet, the entire amount due under debentures was shown as a liability. After redemption, the difference in the amount was transferred to the P L a/c and it was shown as surplus. It is obviously on the ground that after redemption so much liability is saved by the assessee and actually the same has to be shown as surplus though there is no real income or profit derived. Notwithstanding the nomenclature adopted in the balance sheet to depict that amount and the place where it is shown, in reality the assessee did no .....
