CIT(A) deleted addition of interest income, accepting assessee's audited accounts following mercantile system. ITAT upheld CIT(A)'s order, allowing assessee to recognize interest income based on actual receipts as per AS-9 due to uncertainty from NCLAT proceedings involving borrowers RGPPL and KLNG undergoing OTS. Assessee being government entity, accounts approved by CAG audit. ITAT relied on MMTC Ltd. case, holding AS-9 appropriate for revenue recognition under uncertainty. AO failed to establish assessee received impugned interest during the year.
