The<br \/>\n\tTribunal relying on the decision of the Apex Court in case of<br \/>\n\tLiberty India V\/s. Commissioner of Income Tax reported in 317<br \/>\n\tITR 218 held against the assessee.\n<\/p>\n<p>Counsel<br \/>\n\tfor the assessee submitted that Tribunal erred in applying the<br \/>\n\tdecision of Apex Court in case of Liberty India (supra). He<br \/>\n\tsubmitted that in the present case, there was no instance of sale of<br \/>\n\tany license granted on the basis of exports made. It was pointed out<br \/>\n\tthat the amount receivable was towards advance license benefits.\n<\/p>\n<p>However,<br \/>\n\twe are of the opinion that the Tribunal correctly applied the<br \/>\n\tdecision of Apex Court in case of Liberty India (supra). It is true<br \/>\n\tthat in Liberty India, the Apex Court was examining whether profit<br \/>\n\tfrom Duty Entitlement of Passbook Scheme (DEPB) and Duty Drawback<br \/>\n\tScheme could be said to be profit derived from the business of the<br \/>\n\tindustrial undertaking eligible for deduction under Section 80-IB of<br \/>\n\tthe Act. It may also be true that in the present case, the amount in<br \/>\n\tquestion may not be profit derived from DEPB scheme or duty draw<br \/>\n\tback scheme. Nevertheless, as contended by the assessee itself, the<br \/>\n\tamount receivable was in relation to advance license benefit on<br \/>\n\taccount of exports made by the assessee. The Apex Court in case of<br \/>\n\tLiberty India held that the benefits derived from DEPB scheme or<br \/>\n\tduty draw back scheme cannot be stated to be income derived from an<br \/>\n\tindustrial undertaking. It was on this basis that such benefits were<br \/>\n\tnot held eligible for deduction for the purpose of Sections 80IB and<br \/>\n\t80IA of the Act which pertain to deduction in respect of profits and<br \/>\n\tgains from industrial undertakings. The Apex Court concluded that<br \/>\n\tduty draw back receipts or DEPB receipts do not form part of net<br \/>\n\tprofit for eligible industrial undertaking for the purpose of<br \/>\n\tsections 80IA and 80IB of the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>In<br \/>\n\tthe present case, the assessee claims deduction under Section 80IA<br \/>\n\tof the Act with respect to the amount received or receivable from<br \/>\n\tthe license issued on account of exports made by the assessee.<br \/>\n\tInsofar as all material facts are concerned since there is no<br \/>\n\tdistinction, we have no hesitation to hold that the Tribunal rightly<br \/>\n\tapplied ratio in case of Liberty India (supra). Question No.1 is,<br \/>\n\ttherefore, not required to be considered.\n<\/p>\n<p>Question<br \/>\n\tNo.2 represents the deduction denied to the assessee to the total of<br \/>\n\tRs.11.52 lacs under Section 80IA and 80HHC of the Act which has<br \/>\n\tthree different limbs.\n<\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\n\tfirst pertains to the question whether for the purpose of Sections<br \/>\n\t80IA and 80HHC of the Act the net or the gross interest can be<br \/>\n\tdisallowed. This question is separately re-framed in the amended<br \/>\n\tform as question No.3, such issue is, therefore, not decided.\n<\/p>\n<p>Second<br \/>\n\taspect of question No.2 is with respect to interest income received<br \/>\n\tfrom customers on delayed payments. Tribunal while allowing such<br \/>\n\tclaim following this Court&#8217;s decision reported in 328 ITR 40,<br \/>\n\thowever, clarified that such deduction shall be subject to provision<br \/>\n\tof sub-section (9) of Section 80IA of the Act since deduction is<br \/>\n\talready allowed. This question is not required to be considered.<br \/>\n\tTribunal only provided that such deduction shall be subject to the<br \/>\n\tprovisions of Sub-Section (9) of Section 80IA of the Act. We see no<br \/>\n\tinfirmity in such a view. We are sure that the Assessing Officer<br \/>\n\twhile giving effect to, shall examine the same. The third aspect of<br \/>\n\tthis issue is with respect to interest on margin money. The assessee<br \/>\n\tclaimed deduction for the same under Section 80IA of the Act.<br \/>\n\tHowever, the Tribunal relying on the case of this very assessee,<br \/>\n\truled against the assessee.\n<\/p>\n<p>Counsel<br \/>\n\tfor the appellant candidly stated that such decision of the Tribunal<br \/>\n\thas not carried further in appeal. We find that amount is not<br \/>\n\tsubstantial. In that view of the matter, this issue is not<br \/>\n\tconsidered in the present appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>Adverting<br \/>\n\tinto the sole surviving question No.3, counsel for the appellant<br \/>\n\tpointed out that such an issue was decided by Delhi High Court in<br \/>\n\tfavour of the assessee reported in 289 ITR 475; whereas,<br \/>\n\tsubsequently Bombay High Court ruled in favour of the revenue in<br \/>\n\tcase of Asian Star Co. Ltd. However, there is no decision of this<br \/>\n\tcourt and several tax appeals on this issue are pending. Under the<br \/>\n\tcircumstances, this tax appeal is admitted only for question No.3.\n<\/p>\n<p>(AKIL<br \/>\nKURESHI, J.)<\/p>\n<p>(Ms.SONIA<br \/>\nGOKANI, J.)<\/p>\n<p>(ashish)<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   Top<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court Micro vs Unknown on 8 November, 2011 Author: Akil Kureshi, Gokani, Gujarat High Court Case Information System Print TAXAP\/2478\/2010 5\/ 5 ORDER IN THE HIGH COURT OF GUJARAT AT AHMEDABAD TAX APPEAL No. 2478 of 2010 ========================================================= MICRO INKS LIMITED &#8211;
