 IV.  Useful Case Laws: 


1.  Shri Vivek Jairazbhoy Vs. Dy. CIT, ITA No. 236/Bang/2012, Date of Pronouncement: 14.12.2012, ITAT – Bangalore

Section 54EC limit of Rs. 50 Lakh applies to financial year not to transaction

It is clear from the Circular no.3/2008 of CBDT (supra) that the Government only intended to restrict the investment in a particular financial year and thus has fixed a limit of Rs.50 lakhs as permissible investment in a particular financial year.

We are of the considered view that it would be in the fitness of things, to follow the decision of the ITAT, Ahmedabad Bench in the case of Aspi Ginwala & Others (supra) relied on by the assessee and hold that the assessee is entitled to total deduction under section 54EC of the Act spread over a period of two financial years @ Rs.50 lakhs each on investments made in specified instruments within a period of six months from the date of sale of the property.

2.    Gujarat Mineral Dev. Corpn. Ltd., Vs. ACIT, ITA Nos. 128, 186/ Ahd/2005, Date of order: 25. 05.2012, ITAT -  Ahmedabad

Expenditure to set-up a new line of business is capital expenditure 

Interest expenditure under section 36(1)(iii) will be allowable if it is found that borrowed funds were used for the purpose of setting up of a new unit of the existing running business. In the instant case, the borrowed funds were not used for setting up of a new unit of an existing running business, but it was setting up of a new unit for production of an altogether new product, i.e., power; whereas the existing business of the assessee was production of lignite. Since this aspect is not fulfilled, even interest expenditure is not allowable under section 36(1)(iii).
