Penalty under Section 112 fails where knowledge, admissible statements, and incriminating evidence are not proved against the Customs Broker's directo...
Section 80-IA(10) can curtail a deduction only where there is a close connection, an arrangement between the parties, and that arrangement produces more than ordinary profits. The Court held that extraordinary profits alone do not prove such an arrangement, and the Tribunal had not recorded a categorical finding of one. It further found that comparing a 100% export-oriented unit with a domestic sister concern was legally unsustainable because statutory benefits and cost structures differed materially, so no proper benchmark of ordinary profit was made. The restriction of the Section 10B deduction on the sister concern's profit margin was therefore quashed and the appeal allowed.
