of <h1>Export incentives not eligible under section 80-IB of Income Tax Act</h1> <h3>Jai Bharat Gum & Chemicals Ltd. Versus Addl. Commissioner of Income Tax</h3> Jai Bharat Gum & Chemicals Ltd. Versus Addl. Commissioner of Income Tax - [2010] 326 ITR 36 (P&H) Issues:1. Entitlement for deduction claimed u/s 80-IB of the Income Tax Act.2. Justification for ignoring previous judgments in similar cases.Analysis:1. The case involved the appellant-assessee engaged in manufacturing guar gum, claiming a deduction under section 80-IB of the Income Tax Act for profits derived from industrial undertaking Unit II, including export incentives of Rs. 3,08,40,231/-, including DEPB profits. The Assessing Authority disallowed this claim, leading to an appeal before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) who allowed the claim based on a judgment of the Delhi High Court. However, the ITAT set aside the CIT (A) order, citing the decision of the jurisdictional High Court in the case of Liberty India, which held that export incentives like DEPB do not constitute profits derived from industrial undertaking eligible for deduction under section 80-IB. The ITAT reversed the CIT (A) findings and restored the Assessing Authority's order, emphasizing the precedence of the jurisdictional High Court's decision.2. The appellant raised substantial questions of law regarding the entitlement to the deduction claimed and the justification for ignoring the judgment of the Hon'ble Delhi High Court in a similar case. During the hearing, it was revealed that the decision in M/s Liberty India v. CIT, Karnal, relied upon by the ITAT, had been affirmed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court. The Supreme Court concluded that Duty Draw Back and DEPB are incentives not falling within the expression 'profits derived from industrial undertaking in Section 80-IB of the Act.' Consequently, these incentive profits do not form part of the net profits of the industrial undertaking for the purposes of section 80-IB. Based on these decisions, the Court found no substantial question of law arising from the ITAT's order and dismissed the appeal.This detailed analysis of the judgment highlights the issues of deduction entitlement under section 80-IB and the relevance of previous judgments in determining the eligibility of export incentives for such deductions.
