Deduction in respect of profits and gains under the said provision is admissible when these profits and gains are from industrial undertakings or enterprises engaged in infrastructure development etc. Even this availment started at a time when Section BO-IC was not even on the statute book. As mentioned above, Section BO-IC was inserted by the Finance Act,] 2003 with effect from April 01, 2004. The assessees in those cases :lad started claiming and were allowed deductions from the Assessment Years 199B-99 and 1999-2000 under Section BO-IA and from the Assessment Year 2000-01 to Assessment Year 2005-06 under Section 80-1B of the Act. The deduction was, thus, claimed by the assessees in those appeals under the new provision i.e. Section 80-IC on fulfilling conditions contained in sub-section- (2) of Section 80-IC for the first time for the Assessment Year 2006-07. Thus, insofar as those cases are concerned, the initial Assessment Year under Section BO-IC started only from the Assessment Year 2006-07. In contrast, position here is altogether different.

The assessee stated that his unit started claiming deduction u/s 80lB @100%with initial year as AY 2003-04 and thereafter he carried out substantial expansion and started claiming deduction u/s 80lC @100%.

On the other hand, the intention behind Section 80-IC is to grant deduction to the units making new investments in the State by establishing new manufacturing unit or even to the existing manufacturing unit which carried out substantial expansions. The purport behind the three types of deductions specified in Section 80-IA, Section 80-IB and Section 80-IC is, thus, different. Section 8t-C stipulates the period for which hundred per cent deduction is to be given and then deduction at reduced rates is to be given f the assessee had earlier availed deduction under Section 80-IA and Section 80-IS, that would be of no concern inasmuch s on carrying out substantial expansion, which was carried out and completed in the Assessment Year 2006- 07, the assessee became entitled to deduction under Section 80-IC from the initial year. The term' initial year is referable to the year in which substantial expansion has been completed, which legal position is stated by the High Court itself and even accepted by the Department as it has not challenged that part of the judgment. The inclusion of period for the deduction is availed under Section 80-IA and Section 80-IB, for the purpose of counti....
