....in case of Rogini Garments reported in (2007) 294 ITR (AT) 15 (Chennai) (SB). The Tribunal held that the restriction placed on claim of repetitive deduction contained in section 80IA(9) of the Act is to be made applicable in respect of all deductions under Chapter VIA. Full effect of such a provision is to be given, and wherever an assessee wants to claim deduction, restriction contained in section 80IA(9) is to be read in every provision providing for deduction under Part `C' of Chapter VIA. Despite this pronouncement by the Special Bench of the Tribunal, different Benches of the Tribunal adopted different interpretations. The question was, therefore, referred to a Larger Bench, which constituted of five members, and its decision was r....

The Tribunal approved the decision in the case of Rogini Garments (supra) and observed as under: "66. After careful consideration of rival submissions, we find th....

....nded by the revenue. The profit or gains of industrial undertaking, which has already been allowed as a deduction u/s 80-IA, such profit (to the extent) cannot be taken into consideration for allowing deduction under any other provision of this Chapter 'C'. If profit which has already been allowed as a deduction is again taken into consideration for computing deduction under any other provision referred to above, then restriction (a) above is disregarded and ignored. It cannot be done without doing violence to the language of the provision. We see no justification for adopting a course prohibited by the legislature. It is not possible to ignore the restriction placed as (a) nor it is possible to accept that in Circular No. 772, there is a s....
