Per Dr. B. R. R. Kumar, Accountant Member:

The present appeal has been filed by Revenue against the


order of the ld CIT(A)-33, New Delhi dated 16.09.2019.

2. The Revenue has raised the following grounds of appeal:

“1. Whethe r on the facts and circumstances of the case ,


the ld CIT(A) has erred in law and on facts in allowing
relie f to the assessee on the suo moto disallowance m ade
by the assessee u/s 14A read with rule 8D of the Inco me
Tax rules, 1962 in his re turn of income file d on

suo moto and hence, remission be granted from the returned
income.

4. The ld. CIT(A) after considering the following judgments:

 Holcim India Pvt. Ltd. in ITA No. 486/2014 & 299/2014


(Del)
 Cheminvest Ltd. in ITA No. 749/2014 (Del)
 Joint Investment Pvt. Ltd Vs. CIT in ITA No. 117/2015
(Del)

5. The fact that the exempt income received by the assessee


of Rs. 2,093(Rupees Two thousand and ninety three only) not
been in dispute. The disallowance in any case cannot be more
than the exempt income earned. The state cannot clutch the
undue benefit of the mistake committed by the tax payer.
Hence, we decline to interfere with the order of the ld CIT(A).

6. In the result, the appeal of the Revenue is dismissed.

Order Pronounced in the Open Court on 14/02/2023.
