<h1>High Court affirms Tribunal's decision on deduction denial, devaluation gain, and remands gratuity provision issue</h1> The High Court upheld the Tribunal's decision to deny weighted deduction u/s 35B of the I.T. Act, 1961, as the expenses were incurred in India, not abroad ... Business Expenditure, Income, Weighted Deduction Issues involved: Claim for weighted deduction u/s 35B of the I.T. Act, 1961; Tax treatment of surplus realized from holdings of foreign exchange due to rupee devaluation; Claim for deduction of provision for gratuity.Weighted Deduction u/s 35B:The assessee, a domestic company engaged in exporting goods, claimed weighted deduction u/s 35B for expenses incurred in its export business. The Tribunal found that the expenses were incurred in India, not abroad, as required by the provision. The Tribunal negatived the claim, which was upheld by the High Court. The Court rejected the argument that expenditure incurred in India for distribution of goods outside India should qualify for deduction, emphasizing the specific exclusion of 'expenditure not being incurred in India' in the provision.Tax Treatment of Devaluation Gain:The Tribunal considered the devaluation gain on foreign currency payments received by the assessee as a trading receipt, following the principle established by the Supreme Court in a previous case. The assessee did not contest this position, leading to the Tribunal's decision being questioned in the reference.Deduction of Provision for Gratuity:The Tribunal remanded the matter of deduction of provision for gratuity back to the ITO for further examination. The Department questioned this decision, but the High Court found no error in the Tribunal's action. The Court referred to a recent Supreme Court decision providing guidelines on when a provision for gratuity can be considered a charge against profits, suggesting the ITO consider these guidelines on remand.In conclusion, the High Court disposed of the references on the three points, making no order as to costs due to the mixed results.
