Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for making application for recomputation of total income of a co-operative society engaged in the business of manufacture of sugar, as provided for in the sub-section (19) of section 155 of the Income-tax Act, 1961

Recomputation of income for sugar co operatives enables allowance of sugarcane purchase deductions when prices match government fixed rates.

Recomputation permits a co-operative society in sugar manufacture to apply for recomputation where deductions for sugarcane purchase were disallowed for years on or before 1 April 2014; the Jurisdictional Assessing Officer shall allow the deduction to the extent the expenditure was incurred at prices equal to or less than government-fixed or government-approved prices, apply rectification provisions analogous to the rectification procedure, and issue an order within six months of the month in which the application is received, with recomputations permissible only until 31 March 2027.
