Deduction u/s 57 was disallowed for interest income from savings bank account and interest from Thangamayil Jewellery Limited, classified under "other sources". The issue was whether a direct nexus existed between the loan borrowed and loan given. The names on loan documents did not match the assessee's name, and deductions u/s 57 were denied as the loans were for specific purposes like home and agriculture. However, relying on ACIT vs. Nishith Desai, the Tribunal allowed interest expenditure deduction u/s 57, as it was wholly and exclusively for earning interest income, following CIT vs. Rajendra Prasad Moody. Lack of evidence like bank statements showing loan credit to Thangamayil Jewellery Limited necessitated remanding the matter to the Assessing Officer for fresh examination. The assessee was directed to file evidence for the claim u/s 57. The appeal was allowed for statistical purposes.
