What is the definition of Unreasonable ?
26 June 2013
Unreasonable means for which reasons given may not be proved as sufficient.
.
If you pay interest to Mr. X, an outsider, @ 12% whereas you pay interest to related party @ 18%, then you are paying 6% extra, though party is a related party.
.
Whereas while dealing with relatives we expect that they will charge lesser than the price prevalent in the market, or at least we can hope that they will not charge higher than the others.
.
So, the excessive payment is considered towards reducing the tax burden by the payer and from revenue point of view, this becomes an unreasonable aspect.
