Issues: (i) Whether the set-off of brought forward losses under section 72 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 formed part of the computation of total income for the purpose of deduction under section 80-I. (ii) Whether unabsorbed depreciation or development rebate under sections 32, 33 and 34 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 formed part of the computation of total income and gross total income for the purpose of deduction under section 80-I.
Issue (i): Whether the set-off of brought forward losses under section 72 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 formed part of the computation of total income for the purpose of deduction under section 80-I.
Analysis: The questions were treated as concluded by an earlier decision of the same court. The court did not undertake an independent fresh analysis and followed that binding view for the reference.
Conclusion: The question was answered in the negative and in favour of the Revenue.
Issue (ii): Whether unabsorbed depreciation or development rebate under sections 32, 33 and 34 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 formed part of the computation of total income and gross total income for the purpose of deduction under section 80-I.
Analysis: The court followed the earlier decision which governed the point and held that the treatment of unabsorbed depreciation or development rebate for section 80-I purposes stood concluded against the assessee.
Conclusion: The question was answered in the affirmative and in favour of the Revenue.
Final Conclusion: Both referred questions were decided against the assessee and the reference was disposed of in line with the prior binding authority.
Ratio Decidendi: For deduction under section 80-I, the computation adopted must give effect to the statutory set-off and adjustment provisions governing losses, depreciation and development rebate in accordance with the controlling precedent.
