As regards the fifth question is concerned, the Tribunal has recorded a finding that the financial charges were paid by the assessee to the Bank for obtaining loan during the course of business and hence allowable as business expenditure. In our opinion, no fault can be found with the decision of the Tribunal in allowing the aforesaid expenditure as business expenditure. Thus, the fifth question cannot be entertained. Accordingly the appeal is dismissed. ( SMT. R.P. SONDURBALDOTA, J. ) (J.P. DEVADHAR, J.)
