We need not refer to the factual matrix of the case as the<\/p>\n<p>issue pertains to computation of investment allowance on<\/p>\n<p>enhanced liability of Rs.2,90,226\/- representing the increase in<\/p>\n<p>actual cost under Section 43A of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The<\/p>\n<p>enhanced investment allowance was claimed on the basis of<\/p>\n<p>fluctuation in the foreign currency rate on account of<\/p>\n<p>depreciation in the value of the Rupee at the end of financial<\/p>\n<p>year. This as per the stand of the appellant-assessee had to be<\/p>\n<p>accounted and added to the capital cost of imported plant and<\/p>\n<p>equipment, payment for which was due and payable. There is no<\/p>\n<p>dispute that the appellant-assessee is entitled to investment<\/p>\n<p>allowance in the year in question in respect of the &#8220;Glass Units.<\/p>\n<p>4.      The question raised is covered by the decision of the<\/p>\n<p>Supreme Court in Commissioner of Income Tax versus<\/p>\n<p>Gujarat Siddhi Cement Limited, (2008) 307 ITR 393 (SC).<\/p>\n<p>Subject matter of challenge before the Supreme Court was the<\/p>\n<p>decision of the Gujarat High Court, following their earlier Full<\/p>\n<p>Bench decision in Commissioner of Income Tax versus<\/p>\n<p>Gujarat State Fertilizers Company Limited, (2003) 259 ITR<\/p>\n<p>526 in which it was held that investment allowance is allowable<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">ITA No. 141\/2000                                       Page 2 of 10<\/span><br \/>\n on actual cost or adjusted cost as enhanced due to fluctuation in<\/p>\n<p>exchange rate of the foreign currency. The ratio of the said<\/p>\n<p>judgment was examined by the Supreme Court in Gujarat<\/p>\n<p>Siddhi Cement Limited (supra). The specific issue examined<\/p>\n<p>was whether while computing investment allowance under<\/p>\n<p>Section 32A, foreign exchange fluctuation in terms of Section<\/p>\n<p>43A can be taken into consideration and accordingly accounted.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court referred to an earlier decision in<\/p>\n<p>Commissioner of Income Tax versus Arvind Mills Limited,<\/p>\n<p>(1992) 193 ITR 255 (SC), wherein it has been observed as<\/p>\n<p>under:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>                   &#8220;22. Nor is there any in-appropriateness of<br \/>\n                   statutory language as urged. As we have<br \/>\n                   discussed above, the provisions of sub-<br \/>\n                   section (1) apply to the present case and the<br \/>\n                   increased liability should be taken as \u201eactual<br \/>\n                   cost\u201f within the meaning of section 43A(1). All<br \/>\n                   allowances including development rebate or<br \/>\n                   depreciation allowance or the other types of<br \/>\n                   deductions referred to in the sub-section<br \/>\n                   would therefore have to be based on such<br \/>\n                   adjusted actual cost. But then sub-section (2)<br \/>\n                   intercedes to put in a caveat. It says that the<br \/>\n                   provisions of sub-section (1) should not be<br \/>\n                   applied for purposes of development rebate.<br \/>\n                   The effect is that the adjusted actual cost is to<br \/>\n                   be taken as the actual cost for all purposes<br \/>\n                   other than for grant of development rebate.<br \/>\n                   Read      thus, there is no difficulty in the<br \/>\n                   application of the language of the section to<br \/>\n                   the     present     case.     There     is    no<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">ITA No. 141\/2000                                              Page 3 of 10<\/span><br \/>\n                    inappropriateness of language either in sub-<br \/>\n                   section (1) or in sub-section (2). The language<br \/>\n                   used is quite appropriate and meets the<br \/>\n                   situation fully.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>                   23. For the reasons discussed above, we are<br \/>\n                   of the opinion that the language of the<br \/>\n                   provision is perfectly clear. It cannot be<br \/>\n                   interpreted in a        restrictive manner as<br \/>\n                   contended for by the learned counsel for the<br \/>\n                   assessee. In our opinion, it is a clear<br \/>\n                   requirement of the statute that, for purposes<br \/>\n                   of development rebate, any increase or<br \/>\n                   decrease in the actual cost consequent on<br \/>\n                   fluctuations in exchange rate should not be<br \/>\n                   taken     into account. It may be that the<br \/>\n                   Legislature intended to give a different<br \/>\n                   treatment to development rebate from<br \/>\n                   depreciation and other allowances because<br \/>\n                   the allowance of development rebate can<br \/>\n                   result in an assessee claiming allowances<br \/>\n                   exceeding the original cost. It may be that the<br \/>\n                   Legislature thought that, though development<br \/>\n                   rebate was intended to promote development<br \/>\n                   of industries, this could not be allowed at the<br \/>\n                   cost of the foreign exchange resources of the<br \/>\n                   country which are also depleted when there is<br \/>\n                   an increase in liability due to devaluation of<br \/>\n                   the currency. It is unnecessary to attribute any<br \/>\n                   particular reason for the provision when the<br \/>\n                   language of the section is otherwise plain and<br \/>\n                   unambiguous. We do not think that, in face of<br \/>\n                   the language of sub-section (2), it would be<br \/>\n                   right to permit the assessees to claim<br \/>\n                   development rebate on the increased cost.<br \/>\n                   We, therefore, allow the appeal and uphold<br \/>\n                   the action of the Assessing Officer granting<br \/>\n                   development rebate to the assessee only in<br \/>\n                   respect of a sum of Rs. 52.48 lakhs and not<br \/>\n                   on Rs. 61 lakhs on the basis of which it was<br \/>\n                   claimed. Having regard, however, to the fact<br \/>\n                   that the assessees had succeeded before all<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">ITA No. 141\/2000                                              Page 4 of 10<\/span><br \/>\n                    the High Courts we make no order regarding<br \/>\n                   costs.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>5.         In Gujarat State Fertilizers Company Ltd. (Supra), it<\/p>\n<p>has been observed:-\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>                   On a bare reading of the provision, i.e.,<br \/>\n                   section 43A(1) the position is clear that it<br \/>\n                   relates to the fluctuation in the previous year<br \/>\n                   in question. If any extra benefit is taken the<br \/>\n                   same has to be taxed in the year when the<br \/>\n                   liability is reduced as provided in terms of<br \/>\n                   section 41(1)(a), Explanation 2.

For that limited purpose the matter is<br \/>\n                   remitted to the Tribunal to consider whether<br \/>\n                   the assessee is justified in claiming deduction<br \/>\n                   in the background of section 43A(1), as it<br \/>\n                   stood then, keeping in view the legal position<br \/>\n                   as highlighted above.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>6.      Thus, the Supreme Court had referred to the provisions of<\/p>\n<p>Section 43A as they existed prior to the amendment with effect<\/p>\n<p>from 1st April, 2003 by Finance Act, 2002 (in the present case,<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">ITA No. 141\/2000                                              Page 7 of 10<\/span><br \/>\n the assessment year involved in 1983-84 and, therefore, the<\/p>\n<p>amendment to Section 43A with effect from 1st April, 2003 is not<\/p>\n<p>relevant) and it was held that in the background of Section 43A,<\/p>\n<p>the decision of the Gujarat High Court was correct and in<\/p>\n<p>accordance with law.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.      We may now refer to the recent decision of the Supreme<\/p>\n<p>Court in Commissioner of Income Tax, Delhi verses<\/p>\n<p>Woodward Governor India Private Limited, (2009) 13 SCC 1,<\/p>\n<p>wherein Section 43A was examined with reference to foreign<\/p>\n<p>exchange fluctuation and the exchange rate prevailing at the<\/p>\n<p>end of the financial year.           It has been held in Wood Ward<\/p>\n<p>Governor India Private Ltd. as under:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>                   &#8220;56. As stated above, what triggers the<br \/>\n                   adjustment in the actual cost of the assets,<br \/>\n                   in terms of unamended Section 43-A of the<br \/>\n                   1961 Act is the change in the rate of<br \/>\n                   exchange subsequent to the acquisition of<br \/>\n                   assets in foreign currency. The section<br \/>\n                   mandates that at any time there is change in<br \/>\n                   the rate of exchange, the same may be<br \/>\n                   given effect to by way of adjustment of the<br \/>\n                   carrying cost of the fixed assets acquired in<br \/>\n                   foreign currency. But for Section 43-A which<br \/>\n                   corresponds to Para 10 of AS 11 such<br \/>\n                   adjustment in the carrying amount of the<br \/>\n                   fixed assets was not possible, particularly in<br \/>\n                   the light of Section 43(1). The unamended<br \/>\n                   Section 43-A nowhere required as condition<br \/>\n                   precedent for making necessary adjustment<br \/>\n                   in the carrying amount of the fixed asset that<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">ITA No. 141\/2000                                             Page 8 of 10<\/span><br \/>\n                    there should be actual payment of the<br \/>\n                   increased\/decreased    liability  as     a<br \/>\n                   consequence of the exchange variation. The<br \/>\n                   words used in the unamended Section 43-A<br \/>\n                   were &#8220;for making payment&#8221; and not &#8220;on<br \/>\n                   payment&#8221; which are now brought in by<br \/>\n                   amendment to Section 43-A vide the<br \/>\n                   Finance Act, 2002.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>                   57. Lastly, we are of the view that<br \/>\n                   amendment of Section 43-A by the Finance<br \/>\n                   Act, 2002 w.e.f. 1-4-2003 is amendatory and<br \/>\n                   not clarificatory. The amendment is in<br \/>\n                   complete substitution of the section as it<br \/>\n                   existed prior thereto. Under the unamended<br \/>\n                   Section 43-A adjustment to the actual cost<br \/>\n                   took place on the happening of change in<br \/>\n                   the rate of exchange whereas under the<br \/>\n                   amended Section 43-A the adjustment in the<br \/>\n                   actual cost is made on cash basis. This is<br \/>\n                   indicated by the words &#8220;at the time of making<br \/>\n                   payment&#8221;. In other words, under the<br \/>\n                   unamended Section 43-A, &#8220;actual payment&#8221;<br \/>\n                   was not a condition precedent for making<br \/>\n                   necessary adjustment in the carrying cost of<br \/>\n                   the fixed asset acquired in foreign currency,<br \/>\n                   however, under amended Section 43-A<br \/>\n                   w.e.f. 1-4-2003 such actual payment of the<br \/>\n                   decreased\/enhanced liability is made a<br \/>\n                   condition precedent for making adjustment in<br \/>\n                   the carrying amount of the fixed asset. This<br \/>\n                   indicates a complete structural change<br \/>\n                   brought about in Section 43-A vide the<br \/>\n                   Finance Act, 2002. Therefore, the amended<br \/>\n                   section is amendatory and not clarificatory in<br \/>\n                   nature.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>8.      In the light of the aforesaid discussion, it is apparent that<\/p>\n<p>the foreign exchange fluctuation and the exchange rate<\/p>\n<p>prevailing at the last date of financial year can be taken into<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">ITA No. 141\/2000                                             Page 9 of 10<\/span><br \/>\n consideration for the purpose of Section 43A and accordingly<\/p>\n<p>for computing investment allowance.\n<\/p>\n<p>9.      Necessary sequitor is that the ITAT was not right in<\/p>\n<p>dismissing the appeal of the assessee holding that the foreign<\/p>\n<p>exchange fluctuation or the exchange rate prevailing on the last<\/p>\n<p>date of the financial year cannot be taken into consideration in<\/p>\n<p>computing the investment allowance.       The question of law is<\/p>\n<p>answered in negative i.e. accordingly answered against the<\/p>\n<p>Revenue and in favour of the appellant-assessee.<\/p>\n<p>        The appeal is disposed of.
