ITA No. 5383/Mum/2018, AY 2013-14 2.1 This appeal contests the order of Ld. Commissioner of Income-Tax (Appeals)-8, Mumbai, [in short referred to as 'CIT(A)'], dated 18/06/2018 on following grounds: - 1. On the facts and in the circumstances of the case and in law, the learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) has erred in confirming the disallowance made under Section 14A of the Income Tax act, 1961 to the extent of exempted income earned of Rs. 23,56,611/-.

In such a case, unless nexus of borrowed funds vis-à-vis investments made by the assessee was established by Ld. AO, a presumption was to be drawn in assessee's favor that the investments were out of own funds. The cited case laws, which are binding in nature, squarely apply to facts of the case.
