Disallowance of interest expenditure

This query is : Resolved 

20 December 2014 If assessee has taken loan for starting new business activity ,and the assessee has incurred interest expenditure ,can this interest expenditure shall be allowed as business deduction where the assessee could not able to start new business activity due to certain unfavourable circumstances ?

20 December 2014 This is an allowable deduction.

20 December 2014 It is ALLOWABLE. Nothing to be worried about 14A and rule 8D

20 December 2014 Please substantiate your answer with some Case Law in this regards.

20 December 2014 I dont thin any case law is needed. Starting a BUSINESS and starting business activity are 2 way apart things.
The moment the loan is taken justifies that the business is started, no matter if you are ablew to execute any SALES.
Your views please.

20 December 2014 There is no need for case law as per section 37(1) any expenditure incurred wholly and exclusively for business purpose is allowed.

In your case when you have taken business loan and interest exp is incurred it gets covere by this said section and it doesnty matter whether business is started or not.
