Court: Chennai

Decided on: Aug-21-1995

Reported in: [1996]219ITR589(Mad)

Abdul Hadi, J. 1. This tax case revision is filed by the assessee under s. 54 of the Tamil Nadu Agrl. IT Act, 1955, and the question is whether the sum of Rs. 5,61,542.50 paid as interest on loan borrowed by the assessee is allowable as deduction in computing the total agricultural income under s. 5(e) of the Tamil Nadu Agricultural IT Act (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act') as contended by the assessee. The Tribunal has upheld the disallowance of the said sum by both the lower authorities, on the ground that the said borrowal would fall under s. 5(k) of the Act and the said interest amount is beyond the limit prescribed under the said s. 5(k) of the Act. 2.

But learned counsel for the Revenue submits that there is no proof for holding that the sai...
