Interest on Loans Not Deductible u/s 57(iii) if Not Used for Earning Interest Income.

February 17, 2022

Case Laws     Income Tax     AT

Interest incurred claimed as a deduction u/s. 57(iii) out of interest earned from mutual funds - In our opinion, unless funds are borrowed for making deposit to earn interest income, such interest paid on borrowings cannot be allowed as deduction in the computation of income from other sources, which in this case, is interest earned from mutual funds. In the facts stated above, there is no doubt that the funds borrowed from HSBC Bank was never used for investment to earn interest income. On the other hand, it has been used to make investment in CGDA Scheme and interest paid on borrowings cannot be set off against interest earned from mutual funds, as borrowed fund is not converted into mutual fund which yielded interest income. - AT
