Issues: (i) Whether the assessee was entitled to investment allowance under section 32A of the Income-tax Act, 1961. (ii) Whether extra-shift allowance had to be computed on the basis of the days on which the concern actually worked double shift or triple shift.
Issue (i): Whether the assessee was entitled to investment allowance under section 32A of the Income-tax Act, 1961.
Analysis: The allowance under section 32A was available only where the assessee satisfied the statutory condition of manufacturing or producing articles. The finding in the assessee's own case had already negatived that requirement, and the earlier decision was followed.
Conclusion: The assessee was not entitled to investment allowance under section 32A, and this issue was decided against the assessee.
Issue (ii): Whether extra-shift allowance had to be computed on the basis of the days on which the concern actually worked double shift or triple shift.
Analysis: The governing principle, as laid down by the Supreme Court, was that extra-shift allowance is to be calculated with reference to the number of days the concern actually worked double shift or triple shift, and not by reference to the working of a particular item of machinery or plant.
Conclusion: The computation adopted was correct, and this issue was decided in favour of the assessee.
Final Conclusion: The reference was answered partly against the assessee on the investment allowance question and partly in favour of the assessee on the extra-shift allowance question.
Ratio Decidendi: Investment allowance under section 32A is not admissible unless the statutory requirement of manufacture or production of articles is satisfied, and extra-shift allowance must be computed on the basis of the concern's actual double-shift or triple-shift working days.
