The Reference relates to the assessment year 1982-83.\n<\/p>\n<p>Briefly stated the facts giving rise to the present Reference are that the respondent derived income from execution of one contract job and claimed deduction of investment allowance under section 32A of the Act. However, the assessing officer did not allow any investment allowance as he was of the view that the respondent is not an industrial undertaking as per the provisions of the Act. The CIT(A) had allowed the claim of the assessee for investment allowance which order has been confirmed by the Tribunal.\n<\/p>\n<p>3. We have heard Sri A.K. Mahajan, learned Standing counsel appearing for the revenue. Nobody has appeared for the respondent-assessee.\n<\/p>\n<p>4. The question raised in the present Reference has been settled by the Apex Court in the case of CIT v. N.C. Budharaja &amp; Co. Ltd. (1993) 204 ITR 412 (SC). The Apex Court has held that the activity of civil construction does not amount to manufacture nor any article is produced in it, therefore, it is not an industrial undertaking and the respondent is not entitled for investment allowance under section 32A of the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>5. Respectfully following the aforesaid decision, we answer the question referred to us in the negative i.e., in favour of the revenue and against the assessee. However, there shall be no order as to costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Allahabad High Court Cit vs Allied Constructions Co. on 2 February, 2005 Equivalent citations: 2005 146 TAXMAN 734 All ORDER The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Allahabad has referred the following question of law under section 256(1) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, hereinafter referred to as &#8216;the Act&#8217;, for opinion to this Court: &#8220;Whether, on the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-50977","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-allahabad-high-court","category-high-court"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Cit vs Allied Constructions Co. on 2 February, 2005 - Free Judgements of Supreme Court &amp;
