Issues: (i) Whether receipts from operation and maintenance charges, revenue sharing from lessees, other income, auditorium income and rent formed part of the eligible profits for deduction under Section 80IA. (ii) Whether interest income was eligible for deduction under Section 80IA.
Issue (i): Whether receipts from operation and maintenance charges, revenue sharing from lessees, other income, auditorium income and rent formed part of the eligible profits for deduction under Section 80IA.
Analysis: The issue was treated as covered by earlier decisions holding that income from leasing or operating a specially equipped software park, along with connected receipts from its commercial exploitation, is assessable as business income and qualifies for the special deduction where the undertaking is approved and notified for the purpose of Section 80IA(4)(iii) read with Rule 18C of the Income-tax Rules. On that basis, the connected receipts were held to fall within the eligible computation of deduction.
Conclusion: In favour of the assessee. These receipts were held eligible for deduction under Section 80IA.
Issue (ii): Whether interest income was eligible for deduction under Section 80IA.
Analysis: Interest income was separately held to stand on a different footing and was excluded following the settled principle that such income does not qualify as profits derived from the eligible business for the special deduction.
Conclusion: Against the assessee. Interest income was not eligible for deduction under Section 80IA.
Final Conclusion: The appeal succeeded only in part, with the assessee obtaining relief on the non-interest receipts while the exclusion of interest income was sustained.
Ratio Decidendi: Receipts arising from the commercial exploitation and operation of an approved eligible undertaking may be treated as business income for the purpose of Section 80IA, but interest income is not deductible as profits derived from the eligible business.
