    Supreme Court of India 12 Feb 2018 Binding (Supreme Court) Reportable

    Court's Decision & Legal Precedent

    The dominant purpose or intention behind investment in shares is not relevant in determining applicability of Section 14A. Where dividend income is earned on shares, whether held as investment for acquiring controlling interest or as stock-in-trade, the principle of apportionment of expenditure between taxable and non-taxable income applies under Section 14A. Expenditure incurred in relation to earning tax-exempt dividend income must be disallowed proportionately. However, where shares are held as stock-in-trade and dividend is earned incidentally, the apportionment must be done based on actual facts and circumstances. The Assessing Officer must record satisfaction before applying apportionment under Section 14A(2) read with Rule 8D, and must examine the nature of loan taken for purchasing shares. Rule 8D is prospective in nature and applies only to assessment years from 2007-08 onwards.
