There is a specific finding by the learned first appellate authority that for the assessment year 97-98 such addition was deleted by following the decision of the Tribunal in the case of assessee itself for the assessment year 91-92 wherein it was held that merely because the assessee is having overdraft with the bank and having advanced certain loans to subsidiary company, it is not proving the nexus between the interest bearing funds and interest free loans given to the subsidiary company specially when the assessee has surplus sufficient founds and cover to loans given to sister concerns, out of which advances to sister concerns can easily be made.
