Treating it as AOP is correct as the partnership consists of artificial juridical person i.e. pvt ltd company and 2 firms. ( Partners of the firm are collectively called as FIRM. It does not have a separate identity per se apart from having a separate identity under income tax act. So? As per partnership Act, such partnership can NOT be called as FIRM and the AO has rightfully treated it as AOP.
But interest should have been allowed. Can you please tell me what is AO's contention in disallowing the same? So I can find out the case laws.
