26. The provisions of section 57 of the Act provide allowance of interest
expenditure if it is expended wholly and exclusively for the purpose of making
income under the head "income from other sources". The plain natural

construction of the language of section 57(iii) of the Act, leads to the
conclusions that to bring a case within that section it is not necessary that
any income should in fact have been earned as a result of the expenditure.
What section 57(iii) of the Act requires is that the expenditure must be laid
out or expended wholly and exclusively for the purpose of making or earning
income. The provisions of section does not require that this purpose must be
fulfilled in order to qualify, the expenditure for deduction it does not say that
the expenditure shall be deductible only if any income is made or earned [CIT
v/s Rajendra Prasad Moody [1978], 115 ITR 519 (SC). In the present case,
the assessee has made an investment in a related company and the resultant
income in the form of a dividend income, interest income or directors'
remuneration fall within the head of "income from other sources". Therefore,
for claiming deduction under section 57(iii) of the Act, it would be sufficient to
prove that there is nexus between the income which will be earned and
amount expended. In the given case, it is undisputed fact that the funds have
been advanced to related concern. At this juncture it is also apropos to refer
to the landmark judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in S.A. Builders Ltd.,
288 ITR 1 (SC) wherein it has been held that the tax authorities must not
look at the matter from their own view point but that of a prudent
businessman. In case, it is found that transfer of borrowed funds to a sister
concern was on account of commercial expediency even if the same is
interest free, the deduction claimed by the assessee cannot be disallowed.
Thus, ground no. 2, raised by the assessee is allowed. It is reiterated that the

allowance of any expenditure is within the judicial periphery laid in the Act
and mere non-recording in the books of account can hardly negate the claim.

4.7 Further, I humbly wish to submit the fact that any advance made to
the related/sister concern out of commercial expediency is also
allowable under section 36(1)(iii), section 37 and section 57(iii) of the
income tax act, 1961. The landmark judgment on this issue, which
explains the entire gamut of provisions is that of the Hon'ble Supreme
Court in SA Builders Limited's case 288 ITR 1 (SC).
