Tribunal held that\u00a0 once sufficient funds of its own were available with the assessee for making investments, there could not be any disallowance of interest under second limb of rule\u00a08D(2)\u00a0of the Rules, even though erroneously made by the assessee in the return of income. While this direction may eventually go to reduce the returned income of the assessee, taxes are to be collected in accordance with law in terms of article\u00a0265\u00a0of the Constitution of India and not based on the consent or acceptance of the assessee either in the return or during the course of assessment or appellate proceedings. There is no estoppel against the statute. The Tribunal also held that, with regard to disallowance of indirect expenses under the Assessing Officer was to consider only those investments which had actually yielded exempt income for working out the disallowance thereon, and to recompute and reduce the disallowance already made by the assessee in the return under the third limb of rule\u00a08D(2).
