Rule 8D Of IT Rules Can Be Invoked Only If Assessee's Computation Of Expenses Attributable To Earning Exempt Income Is Found Inadequate: Delhi HC

Live Law  

The Delhi High Court has held that recourse to Rule 8D of the Income Tax Rules, 1962 for computing disallowance under Section 14A of the Income Tax Act is available only if the Assessee's computation of expenses attributable to earning exempt income, is found to be inadequate. Aggrieved, the Assessee preferred an appeal before the Commissioner of Income Tax which observed that the Assessee's computation of ₹7,50,000/- as the expenditure attributable to earning exempt income, was not found defective by the AO. At the outset, the High Court noted that neither the AO nor any of the appellate authorities had found that the Assessee's computation of expenditure, which was allocable to earning exempt income, was erroneous or inadequate. In the present case, the Court noted that the AO had not found fault with the Assessee's computation of expenditure allocable to exempt income and, therefore, recourse to Rule 8D of the Rules for determining the expenditure incurred for earning exempt income, was not available.
