  31. Recent developments • Once the Rule 8D was notified sometime in early 2008, the tax officers have been mechanically applying the said Rule to all pending assessments. • In most cases, they have been rejecting the working prepared by the tax payer and huge disallowances have been made under section 14A based on the irrational computational mechanism laid down in the Rule.

  32. Recent developments • However, the latest development has made matters even worse now. • Recently, the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal had occasion to decide on the issue of applicability of the section in those cases, • Where a tax payer had invested money in investments, the income from which, as and when received, would be tax free in the hands of the tax payer. • In view of conflicting decisions of various Tribunals in the matter, it was decided to constitute a SPECIAL BENCH. This Special Bench at Delhi has given its decision vide its consolidated order dated 5th August, 2009 in the case of ITA Nos. 87/Del/2008, 4788/Del/2007 and 233/Ahd/2006
