b. The loan/interest itself has not fallen due for repayment, yet as the amount of loan sanctioned in not received completely". 4.0 The reply of the assessee has been considered and not acceptable. The loan was sanctioned by Govt. of Maharashtra between June 1998 to March 1999 and the assessee was making interest provision from F.Y 1998-99 onwards. The accumulated interest debited and not paid from F.Y 1998-99 to 2013-14 was Rs 37.60 Crore. Thus, by not withdrawing an amount of Rs 5.62 lakh, the company had not paid the government loan. Though, the assessee claimed that neither the principal nor loan was repayable. It was claiming deduction of provisions for interest knowing fully well that it was never payable. As per provisions of section 37 of the Act, provision for unascertained liability is not allowable deduction for purposes of income tax. Further, it has been held by the Supreme Court in McDowell and Co. Ltd Vs Commercial Tax Officer (SC) 154 ITR 148 that colorable devices are not part of tax planning Tan View of the above a sum of Rs 2,42,00,000/- for AY. 2014-15 remains unexplained. Hence, an amount of Rs. 2,42,00,000/- debited to profit and loss loss account as interest on loan from the Govt. of Maharashtra as explained above and not paid to the Government is disallowed and added to the income of the assessee for the AY 2014-15."
