28 September 2012 Dear Sir,

I own a underconstruction company under section 25 ( non profit organisation).

I have taken amount from various shareholders for the construction work. As my construction work is at a hold, I have invest the amount in Fixed Deposits with the Bank.

I had shown the interest from bank income under Pre-operative. But auditor says that it is income from idle fund hence income tax is to be paid.

Please guide, whether income tax is payable or not

Thanks in advance

Pls read para 11 of AS-16-
Any income earned on the temporary investment of those borrowings is deducted
from the borrowing costs incurred.
