The point that the capital so increased is ultimately utilized for working capital requirements, does not changes the nature of expenditure. There are many judicial decision holding the same position of law like Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation Ltd. v/s CIT (1997)145 ITR 7943 (Bom. HC), Richardson Hindustan V/s CIT (1988) 169 ITR 516 (Bom. HC.), etc. Even the Supreme court in the case of General Insurance Corporation v/s CIT, Mumbai 2006 156 Taxmann 96 (SC) approved the decision of Bombay HC in the case of Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation. Hope this clarifies..
