224 ITR 627Supreme Court of India1997#694 most cited

What is East India Pharmaceutical Works Ltd. v. CIT authority for?

Where an assessee has mixed funds (both interest-bearing and interest-free funds) and makes an interest-free advance or investment, it is presumed that the interest-free funds were utilized first if they are sufficient to cover such advances or investments. This prevents disallowance of interest on borrowed funds under Section 36(1)(iii).
