He ought to have given an opportunity to the assessee to produce necessary evidence in this behalf. (c) The CIT(A) ought to have held that the benefit of exemption from tax in respect of income from STP unit at Nagarjuna Hills was available to it under section 10A by virtue of the fact that under letter dated 26-6-1995 of the Department of Electronics, the said unit was approved as its initial plant at Maithrivanam Complex which was approved as 100% Export Oriented Unit under letter dated 26-6-1991 of the said Department.

....Director It may be observed that it was only in the year 1995, the assessee expanded its operations to a separate complex situated at Nagarjuna Hills, Hyderabad and this expansion was not in the nature of setting up of a new unit. At any rate, it has not been claimed by the assessee before us that the expansion of operations to a new complex at Nagarjuna Hills, Hyderabad constituted the setting up of a new unit. This claim, though apparently made before the A.O. and the CIT (Appeals), has been specifically given up before us. It is in the context of these two letters i.e. letter dated 26th Sept., 1991 of Department of Electronics and the letter dated 26th June, 1995 of Software Technology Parks of India that the assessee's claim for exemption under sections 10A and 10B, has to be considered. As already mentioned, before the A.O. there was no claim for the exemption of the entire income of the assessee under section 10A/10B of the Act and the claim of exemption was limited to the income from the operations at Nagarjuna Hills, Hyderabad. The A.O. denied the claim of the assessee for exemption under section 10A on the ground that the exemption under section 10A(2)(1)(b) is available ....

....ion of the income of operations from Nagarjuna Hills, Hyderabad and claimed that its entire income is entitled for exemption under sections 10A and 10B of the Act, but did not file any revised grounds of appeal before us. Normally, we would not have allowed the assessee to take up pleas which were not taken up before the CIT(A), but as no investigation into fresh facts is required, we have allowed the assessee to take up the pleas mentioned and we have proceeded to consider the pleas taken in the course of the hearing as grounds taken before us. In other words, we proceed to dispose of the appeal on the basis that the main ground taken up before us is that tile entire income is exempt either under section 10A or under section 10B of the Act. 6. We shall first consider the claim of the assessee for exemption under section 10A of the Act. In support of this plea, the Ld. counsel for the assessee relied upon Circular No. 694 of C.B.D.T. dated 23rd November, 1994 which reads as under: "Subject : Tax holiday under sections 10A and 10B for units producing computer software in Export Processing Zones (EPZs), *Software Technology Parks (STPS) or 100% Export Oriented Units (EOUS) - certai....

....t curtail the scope, in respect of existing software exporting units in EPZs/EOUs, already availing of the incentive. The Explanation of the term "produce" is clarificatory in nature and was inserted in 1993 primarily because in that year, the tax holiday was extended to units in STPs - which produce only computer software. 10. Accordingly, it is clarified that units in EPZs/EOUs which export software are as much eligible for availing of the five-year tax holiday under sections 10A and 10B as any other units in EPZ/EOU, even for the period prior to the previous year relevant to the assessment year 1994-95. The conditions stipulated in the provisions have, of course, to be fulfilled. The insertion of the Explanation of the term "produce" in 1993 should not be taken as a ground for denying the tax holiday to such units for earlier years. (Sd) K.M. Sultan Director (TPL-II)" In the light of the above Circular, it is contended that though the assessee came into existence as a unit set up under STP Scheme vide letter dated 26th Sept., 1991 by the Department of Electronics, Software Development Division extracted above, by virtue of above Circular of CBDT, units set up before 1994 als....

....ate claim in respect of the unit at Nagarjuna Hills has been made before us and as already mentioned, the Ld. counsel for the assessee has given up the claim that the operations at Nagarjuna Hills constituted a separate unit. 10. Now, we shall consider the plea of the learned counsel for the assessee for the exemption of income of the assessee under section 10B of the Act. The Ld. counsel for the assessee pleaded before us that the assessee is an EOU within the definition of EOU given in clause (i) of Explanation to section 10B of the Act which we have already reproduced hereinabove. It is mentioned that, if the income from the operations at Maithrivanam is eligible for exemption under section 10B, the income from operations at Nagarjuna Hills also automatically becomes eligible for exemption under section 10B of the Act as the latter unit is only an extension of the former. So what is required to be seen is whether the operations in Maithrivanam are eligible for exemption under section 10B and whether the said unit under Maithrivanam can qualify as 100% export oriented undertaking within the meaning of section 10B of the Act. It may be observed that the definition of "100% export....

In the light of the above, it is contended that Inter Ministerial Standing Committee under the Department of Electronics is authorised to consider all licences relating to computer or software units and so it is claimed that the approval by the Inter-Ministerial Standing Committee tantamounts to approval by Board under clause (i) of Explanation to section 10B of the Act. 14.

.... other hand, pleaded that a unit under the STP Scheme is totally different from an EOU unit. Units set up under the STP Scheme or the Export Processing Zone or a free trade zone or as EOUs are all separate categories and they are covered under separate incentive schemes. It is mentioned that the assessee was clearly a unit under the STP Scheme and not an EOU unit and so it is stumbling between two stools. It is not eligible for exemption under section 10A of the Act because it was not established in free trade zone as required u/s 10A. The exemption u/s 10A of the -Act was extended as already mentioned, to the Units under SI'P Scheme only from 1-4-1994 and this exemption is not available to units like that of the assessee which were established in earlier years. As it is a unit set up under the STP Scheme and not a 100% Export Oriented Unit within the meaning of clause (i) of Explanation to section 10B of the Act, it is not eligible for exemption even under section 10B. The Inter Ministerial Standing Committee (IMSC) even if appointed under RLIU Rules, 1952 read with section 14 of IDAR Act, 1951, is separate from the Board which was specifically meant for granting licences to 100 ....

.... section 14 of IDAR Act, 1951. 100% EOU under the STP Scheme cannot, to our mind, be equated with 100% EOU approved by the Board under section 14 of the IDAR Act. The conditionalities that govern units set up under STP Scheme are different from those that govern the units set up as 100% EOUs and so approved by the Board. Some of the conditionalities are common and overlapping but other conditionalities like the satisfaction of employment criteria, foreign exchange etc., are apparently different. It may be that the Inter Ministerial Standing Committee set up for granting licences under STP Scheme is also appointed by the Central Government in exercise of powers conferred under section 14 of IDAR Act but that does not mean that the Board that has been appointed for granting licences and approval for 100% EOUs has been replaced. The plea taken by the learned counsel for the assessee that the Inter Ministerial Standing Committee has been replaced by the Board on the basis of the contents of para 2 of the Notification of the Ministry of Commerce dated 22-3-1994 which we have extracted hereinbefore, to our mind, is misconceived. The said Notification states that for the purpose of paragr....

Subject to the approval of BOA, EOU/EPZ units may be debonded on their inability to achieve export obligation value addition or other requirements. Such debonding shall be subject to such penalty as may be imposed and levy of the following duties : (a) Customs duty on capital goods at depreciated value but at rates prevalent on the dates of import; (b) Customs duty on unused raw materials and components on the value on the dates of import and at rates in force on the dates of clearance." It is apparent that the Notification in question dated 22-3-1994 extended some incentives given to the EOUs to the units set up under the STP Scheme. Some of the above paragraphs like 114 talk of permission to be granted by the Development Commissioner subject to guidelines laid down by the 'BOA' that is, Board, para 117 refers to the approval by the Board and par....

Units undertaking to export their entire production of goods [except the sales in the Domestic Tariff Area (DTA)] as may be permissible under the Policy may be set up under the Export Oriented Unit (EOU) Scheme or Export Processing Zone (EPZ) Scheme, such units may be engaged in manufacture, production of software, agriculture, acquaculture, animal husbandry, floriculture, horticulture, pisciculture, poultry and sericulture. Units engaged in service activities may also be considered on merits." It is evident from the above that the various schemes like EOU /EPZ & STP are different from each other.

....ioned above, become in any case eligible for exemption under section 10B of the Act. We do not find any reason to attribute such a self-defeating exercise to the Legislature. 21. Regarding the plea of the learned counsel for the assessee that an STP unit may also be an EOU and vice versa, it may be so. But it requires compliance with the rules of both the schemes and in the absence of compliance with both the schemes, an STP unit cannot automatically be regarded as an 100% EOU. In other words, registration under the STP & EOU schemes are not automatically interchangeable. 22. For these reasons, we are of the view that the assessee is not entitled for exemption under section 10B of the Act also. Perhaps, the assessee was aware of this position, that is how, it did not claim exemption under sections 10A and 10B in the original computation filed by it. Such a claim was not advanced in any of the earlier years. The new unit at Nagarjuna Hills was set up in the year of account relevant for assessment year 1997-98 and it was only from 1997-98 onwards that a claim under section 10A or 10B of the Act was made at some stage or other.

The CIT(A) denied the claim for deduction under section 80-I with the following observations : "I have considered the submissions but I am not persuaded to accept the same. One of the prerequisites for getting deduction under section 80-I is that the industrial undertaking should manufacture or produce article or thing. In the present case, appellant develops software. The same cannot be termed as manufacture or production of an article or thing. It will be relevant to point out here that Explanation to section 10A/10B specifically defines manufacture and produce to include computer programmes. The aforesaid clarificatory definition is not there in section 80-I. Accordingly, the appellant will not be entitled to deduction under section 80-I in respect of domestic sales." Normally, we would have set aside the orders of Revenue authorities on this issue as the claim of the assessee has been considered under section 80-I of the Act and not under section 80-IA(2)(iv)(a), but we do not find it necessary to set aside the same as what is involved is only a question of law and no enquiry into fresh facts in this regard is required. 26. The first ....

....o it must be held that a software company produces an article or thing within the meaning of section 80-IA, as this section also uses the expression 'produce an article or thing' which is the same as that figuring in sections 10A and 10B. In other words, even without any resort to the inclusive definition of 'produce' given in sections 10A and 10B of the Act, software company is entitled for exemption under sections 10A and 10B of the Act even prior to assessment year 1994-95 and so, by analogous reasoning, it is also entitled for exemption under section 80-IA(2)(iv)(a) of the Act. In view of the above, there is no reason to deny the exemption under section 80-IA(2)(iv)(a) of the Act to the assessee. Further, we may mention here that there is no merit in the observations of the A.O. that the assessee cannot be granted deduction under section 80-IA because it is granted deduction under section 80HHE of the Act. The two sections operate in different spheres. Section 80HHE operates in respect of export income and 80-IA(2)(iv) in respect of income from domestic sales. Even if no separate books of account are maintained for export and domestic sales, when export profits are excluded as....

AR of the appellant had argued that Sri BGV Krishna was sponsored for foreign education with the clear understanding that on completion of the course, he would serve the appellant company. The learned AR had pleaded that the entire amount should be allowed as business expenditure. 5.2 There is no merit in the argument of the learned AR. During the course of appeal hearing, the appellant had filed a letter dated 27-7 2000. This letter shows that Sri BGV Krishna was sponsored for Bachelor of Science (Electrical Engineering) in Purdue University, USA. Sri BGV Krishna is the son of the Managing Director and he is not connected to the appellant company in any way. The case of Sri BGV Krishna is an isolated case where the appellant company has sponsored somebody for course in foreign university. There is no guarantee that Sri Krishna will complete the course and after completion, he will serve the appellant company. I therefore agree with the Assessing Officer that the expenditure was entirely personal in nature and had no connection with the....

....nd he is not connected to the assessee-company in any way and his foreign tour and education is not shown to have been financed under any scheme or policy of the company. At the time of financing him, there was no agreement between him and the company about any future employment. Therefore, financing the foreign education of Sri BGV Krishna is totally unconditional at the inception and we see more of personal benefit to the Managing Director by way of financing his son's education abroad than meeting the business requirements of the assessee-company. It is also immaterial that the amount has been treated as a perquisite in the hands of Managing Director of the Company. That does not bar the disallowance of the expenditure as not constituting a legitimate business expenditure in the hands of the company. For these reasons, we uphold the order of the CIT(Appeals). 29. In the light of the above, the appeal for assessment year 1997-98 is partly allowed. 30. Next, we will take up the matter for assessment year 1998-99. The grounds taken up before us read as under: "I. The order of the CIT(A) is erroneous in so far as it is opposed to provisions of law and facts on record. 2. (a) The....

....No. 36 and the grounds taken before us. In the course of hearing, the assessee mentioned that the unit at Nagarjuna Hills is only an extension of the earlier unit at Maithrivanam which was set up in the year 1991 and the income from the entire operations of the company is entitled for exemption under sections 10A and 10B of the Act. We have already discussed this issue for the earlier assessment year for 1997-98 in the assessee's own case and for the reasons recorded therein, we hold that the assessee is not entitled for exemption under sections 10A and 10B of the Act. This exemption under sections 10A and 10B of the Act cannot be extended even to the operations at Nagarjuna Hills as this unit is an extension of earlier unit of Maithrivanam. 31. The next effective ground is that the CIT(A) erred in holding that the interest earned on fixed deposit of Rs. 32,15,465 interest on staff loan at Rs. 51,403 and income from miscellaneous receipts of Rs. 55,625 are not income derived from the business of the assessee.
