24 January 2013 If ITO invokes Rule 8D-
whole years interest is also considered under the computational framework.
.
If you want to remain safe, earmark the borrowed money, which has exclusively been utilised for such investment and do not claim that part of interest as an expense.
.
Suppose you have invested Rs 5.00 lacs in January 2013, but borrowed that interest bearing fund in Nov 12. Exclude the entire interest from Nov 12 to March 13.
