M. :\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_1\">These two appeals by the assessee for the asst. yrs. 1986-87 and 1987-88 are directed against orders of CIT setting aside assessments made in the case of the assessee under<a href=\"\/doc\/1978286\/\" id=\"a_1\"> s. 263<\/a> of the IT Act by holding them to be erroneous and prejudicial to the interests of the Revenue.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_2\">2. The assessment for the asst. yr. 1986-87 was made by the Assessing Officer (AO) vide order dt. 2nd March, 1988. Out of income of Rs. 5,33,803, the AO allowed deductions for investment allowance, under<a href=\"\/doc\/1509788\/\" id=\"a_1\"> s. 80HH<\/a> and <a href=\"\/doc\/789969\/\" id=\"a_2\">80-I<\/a> aggregating to Rs. 2,32,884. The net income so computed was set off against carry forward losses of earlier years. The total income was taken at nil figure. The assessment for the asst. yr. 1987-88 was completed vide order dt. 20th March, 1988. From the total income computed at Rs. 20,02,473, the AO allowed deductions under<a href=\"\/doc\/1509788\/\" id=\"a_3\"> s. 80HH<\/a> and <a href=\"\/doc\/789969\/\" id=\"a_4\">80-I<\/a> aggregating to Rs. 8,00,988. From the balance income, the AO deducted aggregate figure of Rs. 9,92,635 representing unabsorbed depreciation for 1983-84 and unabsorbed investment allowance for 1982-83 and 1983-84. The balance amount was charged to tax.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_3\">3. The CIT called for record of above assessments and held the view that brought forward losses of earlier year were to be first set off before allowing deductions under<a href=\"\/doc\/1757624\/\" id=\"a_5\"> s. 32A<\/a>, <a href=\"\/doc\/1509788\/\" id=\"a_6\">80HH<\/a> and <a href=\"\/doc\/789969\/\" id=\"a_7\">80-I<\/a> of the IT Act in the two years under appeal. He, therefore, initiated proceedings under<a href=\"\/doc\/1978286\/\" id=\"a_8\"> s. 263<\/a> of the IT Act and served a notice on the assessee.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_4\">4. In reply to the show-cause notice, the assessee contended that deductions under<a href=\"\/doc\/1509788\/\" id=\"a_9\"> s. 80HH<\/a> and <a href=\"\/doc\/789969\/\" id=\"a_10\">80-I<\/a> were properly allowed and were in line with the view taken by the Tribunal, New Delhi in ITA No. 2752\/Del\/86 in the case of Banmore Electricals (P) Ltd., Gwalior. The assessee further relied upon decision of Honble Supreme Court in the case of <a href=\"\/doc\/688036\/\" id=\"a_11\">Shri Shubh Laxmi Mills Ltd. vs. Addl<\/a>. CIT  (1989) 177 ITR 193 (SC). The learned CIT found no merit in objection raised on behalf of the assessee. Relying upon decision of Honble Kerala High Court in the case of <a href=\"\/doc\/1582847\/\" id=\"a_12\">CIT vs. Kerala Solvent Extractions Ltd<\/a>.  (1987) 165 ITR 174 (Ker), the CIT held that deduction under<a href=\"\/doc\/1509788\/\" id=\"a_13\"> s. 80HH<\/a> will not be available without setting off unabsorbed depreciation and unabsorbed development rebate of earlier years. The learned CIT further held that decision in the case of Shri Shubh Laxmi Mills Ltd. (supra) had no application. The learned CIT further observed that provisions of<a href=\"\/doc\/1810350\/\" id=\"a_14\"> s. 80VVA<\/a> were attracted in the instant case. He, therefore, held that order of assessment made by the AO was erroneous and prejudicial to the interests of Revenue. The assessment order was set aside with directions to the AO to make fresh assessment as per law after giving adequate opportunity of being heard to the assessee. The main order was passed for the asst. yr. 1986-87 and applied in asst. yr. 1987-88. The assessee has come up in appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_5\">5. We have heard both the parties at great length. There is no dispute that decision of Honble Supreme Court in the case of Shri Shubh Laxmi Mills Ltd. (supra) has no application to the facts of the present case. There is further no dispute that provisions of<a href=\"\/doc\/1810350\/\" id=\"a_15\"> s. 80VVA<\/a> were applicable in asst. yrs. 1986-87 and 1987-88 but were not invoked by the AO and to the above extent assessments were erroneous and prejudicial to the interests of the Revenue. Therefore, the action initiated by learned CIT under<a href=\"\/doc\/1978286\/\" id=\"a_16\"> s. 263<\/a> of IT Act has to be held to be valid.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_6\">6. During the course of hearing of appeal, learned counsel for assessee drew our attention to decision of Honble Orissa High Court in the case of <a href=\"\/doc\/1432234\/\" id=\"a_17\">CIT vs. Tarun Udyog<\/a>  (1991) 191 ITR 688 (SC), wherein their Lordships held that deduction under<a href=\"\/doc\/1509788\/\" id=\"a_18\"> s. 80-HH<\/a> is to be allowed on &#8220;profits and gains&#8221; and not on &#8220;gross total income&#8221; as computed in accordance with provisions of the Act. Their Lordships held that deduction is to be allowed without taking into account figures of investment allowance. The learned counsel further drew our attention to decision of Tribunal, Indore Bench in case of <a href=\"\/doc\/853159\/\" id=\"a_19\">ITO vs. Hindustan Electrographides Ltd<\/a>. (1992) 41 ITD 223 (Ind), wherein the Bench held that deduction under<a href=\"\/doc\/1509788\/\" id=\"a_20\"> s. 80HH<\/a> was to be allowed without taking into account carried forward unabsorbed depreciation of earlier years. Similarly, we find that Karnataka High Court in the case of <a href=\"\/doc\/1760214\/\" id=\"a_21\">CIT vs. Siddaganga Oil Extractions (P) Ltd<\/a>.  (1993) 201 ITR 968 (Kar), has held that deduction under<a href=\"\/doc\/1509788\/\" id=\"a_22\"> s. 80HH<\/a> in respect of an industrial undertaking is to be computed without setting off loss of a separate unit. On the other hand, the learned CIT has relied upon decision of Kerala High Court in the case of <a href=\"\/doc\/1582847\/\" id=\"a_23\">CIT vs. Kerala Solvent Extractions Ltd<\/a>. (supra), wherein their Lordships held that deduction under<a href=\"\/doc\/1509788\/\" id=\"a_24\"> s. 80HH<\/a> is not to be allowed out of income of current year without setting off unabsorbed depreciation and unabsorbed development rebate of earlier years. The counsel appearing for the assessee had submitted that there was conflict of opinions among the High Courts as to how deduction was to be computed under<a href=\"\/doc\/1509788\/\" id=\"a_25\"> s. 80HH<\/a>. In above situation, a reasonable view which is in favor of the assessee has to be adopted. If in the assessment order, the Assessing Officer has taken a possible view, then the order cannot be termed as erroneous and prejudicial to the interests of Revenue for purposes of<a href=\"\/doc\/1978286\/\" id=\"a_26\"> s. 263<\/a> of the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_7\">7. For resolving present controversy, we are to give proper meaning to two expressions &#8211; firstly &#8220;total income&#8221; and secondly &#8220;such profits and gains derived from an industrial undertaking&#8221; included in the gross total income. The two expressions do not connote same meaning and are understood differently. This distinction is well known and is accepted even in decisions quoted by the assessee. In the case of Tarun Udyog (supra), before adverting to the question as to how deduction under<a href=\"\/doc\/1509788\/\" id=\"a_27\"> s. 80HH<\/a> was to be computed, their Lordships observed as under :\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_8\">&#8220;Reference to<a href=\"\/doc\/176471\/\" id=\"a_28\"> s. 29<\/a> of the Act shows that the income referred to in<a href=\"\/doc\/555776\/\" id=\"a_29\"> s. 28<\/a> (this section being the same without profits and gains of business or profession), has to be computed in accordance with the provisions contained in<a href=\"\/doc\/454306\/\" id=\"a_30\"> ss. 30<\/a> to <a href=\"\/doc\/32503\/\" id=\"a_31\">43A<\/a>. This clearly indicates that in coming to the figure of gross total income, investment allowance dealt with by<a href=\"\/doc\/1757624\/\" id=\"a_32\"> s. 32A<\/a> has to be taken note of. The ratio of Cambay Electric Supply case (supra) cannot, therefore, be ignored.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_9\">8. In Siddaganga Oil Extractions (P) Ltd. (supra) their Lordships observed as under :\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_10\">&#8220;Sec. 80HH of the IT Act, 1961, provides for the deduction of 20 per cent from the &#8220;profits and gains&#8221; derived from the industrial undertaking. The gross total income of the assessee would include its income derived from several sources or units. The profits and gains of one unit is only one of the constituents of the gross total income. Every item of additions and deductions to be considered at the stage of computing the taxable income to be arrived at from the gross total income need not necessarily be considered while computing the profits and gains of one unit for purposes of<a href=\"\/doc\/1509788\/\" id=\"a_33\"> s. 80HH<\/a>. Under<a href=\"\/doc\/1509788\/\" id=\"a_34\"> s. 80HH<\/a>, the relevant question is whether there is profits and gains derived from an industrial undertaking, which was ultimately added to the gross income of the assessee. If there is any such profits and gains, the assessee is entitled to benefit of<a href=\"\/doc\/1509788\/\" id=\"a_35\"> s. 80HH<\/a>. If the loss sustained by another unit is set off against this profits and gains of an industrial undertaking, the resultant figure would not reflect the profits and gains of the said industrial undertaking in any sense, much less in a commercial sense; it will be an unnatural and artificial &#8220;profits and gains&#8221; of that industrial undertaking. Hence, loss sustained elsewhere cannot be fastened to the profits and gains of the said industrial undertaking for purposes of<a href=\"\/doc\/1509788\/\" id=\"a_36\"> s. 80HH<\/a>.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_11\">The &#8220;gross total income&#8221; is defined under<a href=\"\/doc\/1708291\/\" id=\"a_37\"> s. 80B(5)<\/a> of the IT Act and is to be computed in accordance with provisions of <a href=\"\/doc\/789969\/\" id=\"a_38\">IT Act<\/a>. In other words, all provisions of the Act not specifically excluded are to be applied to arrive at above figure. The depreciation, current and brought forward, losses of every kind, investment allowance, etc., is to be taken into account. In case &#8220;gross total income&#8221; so computed is nil or negative figure, no deduction under<a href=\"\/doc\/1509788\/\" id=\"a_39\"> s. 80HH<\/a> or 80-I is to be allowed and, therefore, the question of computation of deductions under above provisions would not arise. In case &#8220;gross total income&#8221; is a positive figure, the question of computation of deductions under<a href=\"\/doc\/1509788\/\" id=\"a_40\"> s. 80HH<\/a> and <a href=\"\/doc\/789969\/\" id=\"a_41\">80-I<\/a> would have to be considered. Here again the aggregate amount of deductions under Chapter VI-A cannot exceed &#8220;gross total income&#8221;. The deductions under<a href=\"\/doc\/1509788\/\" id=\"a_42\"> ss. 80HH<\/a> and <a href=\"\/doc\/789969\/\" id=\"a_43\">80-I<\/a> are to be computed on &#8220;such profits and gains&#8221; derived from the industrial undertaking and included in the gross total income. The profits and gains of undertaking will not include several deductions allowed while computing &#8220;gross total income&#8221;. The High Courts as noted earlier have held that even investment allowance, loss of separate unit, etc. is not to be deducted while computing &#8220;such profits and gains&#8221;. The Tribunal, Indore Bench has further held that carried forward depreciation is also not to be taken into account for purposes of computing deduction under<a href=\"\/doc\/1509788\/\" id=\"a_44\"> s. 80HH<\/a>. The question of deduction of investment allowance is dealt in sub-s. (3) of<a href=\"\/doc\/1757624\/\" id=\"a_45\"> s. 32A<\/a> of the Act. The said sub-section provides that where total income without making any deduction under<a href=\"\/doc\/1476155\/\" id=\"a_46\"> s. 32A(1)<\/a> and under Chapter VI-A is nil or less than full amount of investment allowance, then investment allowance is to be deducted and carried forward as provided in cls. (i) and (ii) of the sub-section. It is clear from the section that if total income is nil or loss, the investment allowance is to be carried forward.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_12\">9. Having regard to the above legal position, we find that after taking into account brought forward losses, the assessee had &#8220;nil&#8221; total income in asst. yr. 1986-87. Therefore, assessee was not entitled to investment allowance under<a href=\"\/doc\/1757624\/\" id=\"a_47\"> s. 32A<\/a> or to deduction under<a href=\"\/doc\/1509788\/\" id=\"a_48\"> s. 80HH<\/a> and <a href=\"\/doc\/789969\/\" id=\"a_49\">80-I<\/a> of the IT Act. The aforesaid deductions, as noted earlier, were to be computed and allowed only if the assessee had some positive total income. We, therefore, hold that above deductions were wrongly allowed to the assessee in asst. yr. 1986-87 and to that extent the assessment order was erroneous and prejudicial to the interests of the Revenue. The learned CIT, therefore, was right in invoking provisions of<a href=\"\/doc\/1978286\/\" id=\"a_50\"> s. 263<\/a> of the IT Act.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_13\">10. The position for the asst. yr. 1987-88 is different. There, the total income without allowing deductions under<a href=\"\/doc\/1509788\/\" id=\"a_51\"> s. 80HH<\/a> and <a href=\"\/doc\/789969\/\" id=\"a_52\">80-I<\/a> and without setting off of brought forward depreciation and investment allowance, was Rs. 20,02,473. It is unlikely that brought forward depreciation and investment allowance would wipe off the total income and reduce it to nil or negative figure. It, therefore, appears prima facie that assessee was entitled to deduction under<a href=\"\/doc\/1509788\/\" id=\"a_53\"> s. 80HH<\/a> and <a href=\"\/doc\/789969\/\" id=\"a_54\">80-I<\/a> of IT Act. The assessee was further entitled to investment allowance. However, the exact position is required to be computed and no working was furnished to us during the hearing of appeal. Be that as it may, it is not possible for us to agree with learned CIT that deductions under the above provisions were wrongly allowed to the assessee. The view taken by the AO in the assessment order is supported by decisions of various High Courts noted above and cannot be held to be erroneous and prejudicial to the interests of the Revenue. Accordingly, while agreeing in principle with the approach of learned CIT, in order for asst. yr. 1986-87 we set aside his order for asst. yr. 1987-88 to the extent it is inconsistent with our view expressed above. The matter is restored to the file of the AO to make fresh computation of deductions for both the assessment years under appeal in the light of our above observations and after providing reasonable opportunity of being heard to the assessee.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_14\">11. In the result, assessees appeals are partly allowed to the extent state above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delhi High Court Engineers Prestressed &#8230; vs Assistant Commissioner Of Income &#8230; on 7 April, 1995 Equivalent citations: (1996) 55 TTJ Del 705 ORDER VIMAL GANDHI, J.
