Issues: (i) Whether income from sale of scrap was eligible for deduction under section 80IB of the Income-tax Act, 1961 as income derived from the manufacturing activity of the industrial undertaking. (ii) Whether income arising from exchange rate difference was eligible for deduction under section 80IB of the Income-tax Act, 1961 as income derived from the industrial undertaking.
Issue (i): Whether income from sale of scrap was eligible for deduction under section 80IB of the Income-tax Act, 1961 as income derived from the manufacturing activity of the industrial undertaking.
Analysis: The scrap arose from the manufacturing process of lubricants and greases. The jurisdictional High Court had held that scrap sale income has a direct nexus with manufacturing activity and is derived from the industrial undertaking. That view was followed over the contrary view taken in the assessee's earlier year by the coordinate bench.
Conclusion: The scrap sale income was held eligible for deduction under section 80IB and the Revenue's challenge failed.
Issue (ii): Whether income arising from exchange rate difference was eligible for deduction under section 80IB of the Income-tax Act, 1961 as income derived from the industrial undertaking.
Analysis: The exchange rate gain was linked to the sale and export of goods of the industrial undertaking. Binding jurisdictional precedent had held that such gain is derived from the industrial undertaking, and no contrary authority was shown.
Conclusion: The exchange rate difference income was held eligible for deduction under section 80IB and the Revenue's challenge failed.
Final Conclusion: The Revenue's objections to the section 80IB deduction on both counts were rejected, and the assessee's entitlement to the deduction was upheld.
Ratio Decidendi: Income arising from scrap sales generated in the manufacturing process, and exchange rate gain directly connected with sale or export proceeds of the industrial undertaking, are derived from the industrial undertaking for the purpose of section 80IB deduction.
