CIT v. Kribcho (2012 - Del .HC)

Issue: whether sec 14A is applicable in respect of deductions, which are permissible and allowed under chapter VI-A.

Facts: Assessee being a co-operative society, claimed deduction u/s 80P(2)(d) on dividend income from NAFED and Co-op Bank and also on interest on deposits made with co-op banks.

AO, relying on sec 14A, contended that such income was not included in total income of assessee and therefore, the expenditure with respect to such income should be disallowed.

Decision: HC observed that 14A is not applicable for deductions. Deductions under chapter VI-A are different from sec 14A. No disallowance can be made u/s 14A in respect of income included in total income in respect of which deduction is allowable u/s 80C to 80U.

Note: SC judgement overruled Karimanglam case. Hence, Karimangalam case may be ignored.
