Regarding the first issue, the Tribunal held that the claim for loss must be considered strictly within the four corners of the Income Tax Act. The Tribunal found it peculiar that NHB issued account payee cheques to the appellant bank with whom it had no business dealings, and that the proceeds were credited to Shri Harshad Mehta. The Tribunal concluded that the transaction was not in the ordinary course of business and the repayment of Rs. 506.54 crores, even if it resulted in a loss, could not be considered a deductible business loss. The Tribunal distinguished the cited precedents, finding them factually dissimilar. Therefore, the claim for deduction of Rs. 506.54 crores was dismissed. Regarding the second issue, the Tribunal noted that no such claim was made in the return of income and that the expenses were allowed under Section 44C.
