JUSTICE S. RAVINDRA BHAT HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A. K. CHAWLA O R D E R15.05.2018 % The two questions urged by the Revenue in its appeal under Section 260A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (hereafter referred to as ‘the Act’) are – firstly, the interest income earned by the assessee towards the surplus funds lying with it; and, secondly, the disallowance made on the provision for retirement benefits. –The AO had, in both cases, brought two amounts to tax on the one hand, determining that the amounts derived constituted income from other sources, on the other, that such expenses could not be allowed under Section 37 of the Act. Both issues are covered by decisions of this Court with respect to the question of treatment of the amounts derived as to whether they ITA 570/2018 Page 1 of 2 are business income or income from other source. The judgment in NTPC SAIL Power Co. Pvt. Ltd. v. Commissioner of Income Tax 210 Taxmann 358 (Del.) is conclusive and averseto the Revenue. The judgment in Commissioner of Income Tax v. Insilco Ltd. 197 Taxman 55 (Del.) has ruled against the assessee that such amounts are deductible under Section 37 of the Act. No substantial question of law arises. The appeal is consequently dismissed. S. RAVINDRA BHAT, J MAY 15, 2018 kks A. K. CHAWLA, J
