The ITAT deleted the disallowance made under s.14A read with Rule 8D(2)(ii) as the assessee demonstrated that investments were made in controlled entities requiring no expenditure to earn dividend income, and interest-free own funds exceeded investments. Following South Indian Bank Ltd., the Tribunal ruled in the assessee's favor. Additionally, the ITAT permitted the assessee's additional claim regarding export incentives under MEIS Scheme, holding that such rewards constitute capital receipts not chargeable to tax under normal provisions, relying on Eastman Exports Global. Further, following Ankit Metal and Power Limited, the Tribunal directed exclusion of MEIS amounts from book profit computation under s.115JB as they represent capital receipts.
