Per D. Karunakara Rao, AM

      This appeal by the Revenue is directed against the order dated
29.10.2014 passed by the CIT(A)-7, Mumbai and it pertains to AY 2007-08.






2.     Revenue has raised two grounds of appeal regarding disallowance of
expenditure under section 14A of the I.T. Act and non-consideration of the
decision in the case of M/s. Godrej & Boyce Mfg. Co. Ltd. 328 ITR 80 (Bom)
with regard to the facts of the case.

3.     Before us, the learned counsel adverted our attention to the order of
the CIT(A) (para 3.3) and submitted that the CIT(A) merely gave a direction
to the AO to decide the issue afresh in accordance with the judgement of the
Hon'ble Bombay High Court in the case of M/s. Godrej & Boyce Mfg. Co.
Ltd. 328 ITR 80 (Bom). He submitted that the direction is fair and, therefore,
the Revenue should not have any grievance against such direction.
                                          2                  ITA No. 1609/Mum/2013
                                              M/s. Money Matters Advisory Services Ltd.


4.        Per contra, the learned D.R. relied upon the order of the AO and the
argumentative grounds raised in its appeal.

5.        On hearing the parties, we find that the CIT(A) fairly concluded by
stating that Rule 8D applies from AY 2008-09 on wards and the AO should
decide the issue afresh after granting opportunity of hearing to the assessee.
We find the said conclusion of the CIT(A), given in para 3.3, is fair and
reasonable. Therefore the Revenue should not have any grievance. The AO
shall consider all the arguments of the Revenue raised in the appeal in the
remand proceedings. Accordingly, the grounds raised are dismissed.






6.        In the result, the appeal filed by Revenue is dismissed.

                     


Order pronounced in the open court on 1st December, 2014.
