Goodyear India Ltd. vs Income Tax Officer. (Asstt. Cit V. ... on 31 January, 2000
15. The learned Judicial Member also examined s. 37(1) and observed that the words in bracket "[not being expenditure of the nature prescribed in ss. 30 to 36 and not being in the nature of capital expenditure or personal expenses of the assessee]" were significant because ss. 30 to 36 have been excluded from s. 37(1) which is treated as residuary section. Considering the above, and decisions in CIT vs. High Land Produce Co. Ltd. (1976) 102 ITR 803 (Ker), CIT vs. Carborundum Universal Ltd. (1977) 110 ITR 621 (Mad), Nathmal Bankatlal Parikh & Co. vs. CIT (1980) 122 ITR 168 (AP) and Chenab Forest Co. vs. CIT (1974) 96 ITR 568 (J&K), he held that it was clear that once any expenditure is covered under ss. 30 to 36 that shall not be the subject-matter of allowability under s. 37(1). Since the claim of the assessee was covered under s. 35AB, as held by him, the same had to be disposed of under s. 35AB and not under s. 37(1).
