This case discusses various issues related to the income tax assessment of a bank. The key points are: Disallowance of expenditure incurred for reservation of seats in schools for employees' children was upheld based on a favorable High Court decision. Disallowance u/s 14A for exempt income was restricted to 1% of exempt income in line with earlier years. Broken period interest paid on securities constituting stock-in-trade was allowed as deduction following a High Court ruling. Interest on securities was taxable only on due basis, not accrual basis, adhering to the accounting method. Loss on revaluation of investments held as stock-in-trade was allowed based on RBI guidelines and favorable High Court decisions. Contribution to pension fund exceeding statutory limits was disallowed u/s 40A(9) following a High Court judgment. The eligibility of the bank to claim deduction u/s 36(1)(viii) for special reserve was remitted back for examination. Deferred payment guarantee commission was held taxable when guarantee was issued and commission received, following precedents. Disallowance of depreciation on leased assets was confirmed. Recovery of bad debts, where no deduction was claimed earlier, was remitted for fresh examination u/s 41(4). Exclusion of foreign branch income was disallowed for the relevant years, allowing only tax credit under tax.
