Moreover, these reasons, further, record that the interest on fixed deposit amounting to Rs. 1.84 crore have been credited to profit and loss account and have been offered to tax by the petitioner as part of its business income, however, the same was not accepted by the AO on the ground that the petitioner did not carry out any business.
