31 May 2011 The wordings used in section 40(a)(ia) ( not 40b) is '.... on which tax is deductible under chapter XVII-B'. The said chapter r.a.w circular 4/2008 dated 28/4/2008 is concerned with the rent element only, therefore section 40(a)(ia) can't go beyond that meaning thereby disallowance is warranted only for the rent element.
