Interpretation of income accrual under section 28(iii)(c) for advance license.2. Determination of deduction under section 80HHC.Analysis:Issue 1: Interpretation of income accrual under section 28(iii)(c) for advance license:The appeal concerned the Assessee challenging the addition made by the Assessing Officer of Rs. 62,88,891 under section 28(iii)(c) for hypothetical income of the incentive on Advance License. The CIT(A) upheld the addition, stating that the Assessee followed the mercantile system of accounting, and income accrual should be based on events in the relevant period. The Assessee argued that no income accrued as the advance license was not realized due to subsequent events. The Tribunal noted that the Assessee discontinued manufacturing operations, surrendered licenses, and did not benefit from them. Citing the Supreme Court case of CIT vs. Excel Industries, the Tribunal ruled that no real income accrued to the Assessee, and thus, no addition could be made. Consequently, the Tribunal directed the deletion of the income on advance licenses, allowing the Assessee's appeal.Issue 2: Determination of deduction under section 80HHC:The Assessee also challenged the computation of deduction under section 80HHC. The CIT(A) and the Tribunal both upheld the Assessing Officer's calculation, considering the conditions under the fifth Proviso inserted in the section. The Assessee's argument to ignore export losses in the deduction calculation was rejected post the amendment. The Tribunal affirmed that the deduction under section 80HHC was correctly determined by the Assessing Officer, based on the formula and legal provisions. Consequently, the Tribunal rejected all grounds of appeal related to the deduction under section 80HHC.In conclusion, the Tribunal allowed the Assessee's appeal regarding the addition of income on advance licenses and upheld the calculation of deduction under section 80HHC as per the legal provisions and amendments.
