Commissioner Of Income Tax-I vs Abhishek Industries Ltd. on 4 August, 2006
6.3. As far as the Assessing Officer's misconception
regarding disallowance of interest on loan under Section
36(1) (iii) of the IT Act is concerned, the appellant had
already replied that the investment was made out of
capital and reserves and that no loan was utilized for
making the above investment. The appellant company
had reserves and surplus at ` 1,30,03,206/-,
`1,26,02,635/- and `1,22,58,455/- as on 31.3.2004,
31.3.2003 and 31.3.2002 respectively evidencing the
viability and profitability of the company. However, the
Assessing Officer still calculated the interest on loan,
which was not there, in view of the jurisdictional High
Court's decision in the case of CIT v. Abhishek
Industries Limited (supra). Even if the Assessing
Officer is on the wrong side in proportionately
disallowing the interest on the investment of
`48,50,000/- coming to `7,27,500/- on wrong footings as
Singh Gurbax
is pointed out above, the case relied upon by the

Assessing Officer is still not applicable. Even in that case
also if the funds are utilized for business purposes, the
interest is allowable.
