Decided on: Apr-30-1997

Reported in: (1998)65ITD48(Mum.)

1. This is an appeal by the assessee against the order of the CIT for asst. yr. 1987-88.2. The short question in this appeal is regarding the allowability of interest paid on the foreign borrowing, which was disallowed by the AO on the ground that the tax thereon was not deducted by the assessee as provided under s. 58(1)(a)(ii) of the Act. The assessee's contention is that the interest payable by the assessee is not taxable under the Act, in the hands of the non-resident either under s. 5 or s. 9 of the Act, and that the payment was not made in India and, therefore, the question of deduction of tax and payment of tax thereon under s. 195 does not arise. Reliance was placed on the decision of the Madras High Court in the case of C. G. Krishnaswami Naidu vs. CIT (1966) 62 ITR 686 (Mad); decision of the Bombay High Court in the case of CIT vs. Public Utilities Investment Trust Ltd.
