PER ABRAHAM P. GEORGE, ACCOUNTANT MEMBER
In this appeal filed by the Revenue, which is directed against an order dated 31.07.2017 of ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-3, Chennai, it has taken altogether three grounds of which ground No.1 & 3 are general needing no specific adjudication. Vide its ground No.2, grievance raised by the Department is 2.
on deletion of a disallowance made by the ld. Assessing Officer u/s.14A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (in short ‘’the Act’’).
2 -: 3. We have perused the orders and heard the contentions. What we find is that ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) had deleted the disallowance for a reason that assessee had not claimed any exempt income during the impugned assessment year. This has not been disputed by the ld. Departmental Representative. By virtue of the judgment of Hon’ble Jurisdictional High Court in the case of Redington India Ltd vs. Addl. CIT, 392 ITR 623, we are of the opinion that ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) was justified in deleting the disallowance made u/s.14A of the Act. Ground No.2 is dismissed.
In the result, appeal of the Department is dismissed.
