What did the Tribunal hold?

What were the facts?

The appeals concerned the classification of interest income from staff loans and the treatment of capital grants. The Revenue argued interest income should be 'income from other sources', while the assessee claimed it as 'business income'. The treatment of capital grants was also disputed, with the AO treating 15% as income.

What were the issues?

Whether interest income from staff loans is business income or income from other sources, and the correct treatment of capital grants as income.
