M/S..Tube Investments Of India Ltd., vs . The Joint on 21 March, 2019
10. In view of the said finding of facts, which are binding on this Court, while
hearing the Appeal under Section 260 A, we cannot entertain the arguments
advanced by the learned counsel for the Assessee that Haryana Unit set up by the
Assessee for manufacturing of wide width strips & doorframes is merely an
expansion of the existing business at Chennai which is engaged in the manufacture
of narrow width strips for Hyundai Motor India Limited which is a different car
manufacturing unit in Chennai. Even though the Assessee is one company and it
has set up a diferent unit at Haryana and since the interest paid on borrowings
pertains to Haryana Unit, which was a new unit set up by the same company,it
cannot be construed as a mere expansion of business existing at Chennai
particularly, when the Assessee has capitalised the said expansion in its Books of
Accounts as consistently found by the authorities below. Therefore, the disallowance
of said interest on borrowings under Section 36(1) (iii) of the Act was a natural
consequence to follow. Therefore, there is no merit in the contentions raised before
