....re us submitted that the facts and issue in this ground of the appeal are similar to that of the Asstt. Year 1994-95, wherein the Tribunal has held as under: 6. We find that we have decided this issue in assessment year 1994-95 vide consolidated order passed in ITA No. 3403/Ahd/1997 and CO No. 73/Ahd/2011 dated 31.1.2014, wherein, we have held as under: 14. The Ld. DR supported the order of Assessing Officer whereas the Ld. AR of the assessee contended that the name of Adani Exports will be displayed for ever and therefore, there was no basis for the Ld. CIT(A) to arrive at a conclusion that the expenditure would benefit the assessee over a period of 10 years and thereby allowing 1/10 of the same as deduction during the year under consideration. We find that in the instant case, it is not in dispute that the assessee during the year paid Rs. 7,00,000/- to Gujarat Cricket Association. As per agreement entered into with Gujarat Cricket Association which has been quoted by the Assessing Officer in the Assessment Year as well as copy of which is placed at page numbers 44 to 45 of the assessee's paper book it is observed that as per the said agreement, the assessee....

....his ground are similar to that of A.Y. 1995-96. In A.Y. 1995-96 in ITA No. 2405 and 2435/Ahd/1998, we have held as under: 12. We have heard rival submissions and perused the orders of the authorities below and material available on record. In the instant case, the facts of the case are that the assessee claimed higher depreciation at the rate of 40% on trucks given by it on lease. The AO disallowed the claim for higher depreciation at the rate of 40% on trucks given on lease to the assessee, and allowed depreciation at the rate 25% and as the trucks were actually used for less than 180 days by the assessee, he allowed depreciation at the rate 12.5% in place of 20% claimed by the assessee, and thereby made disallowance of Rs. 15,49,241/- for the reason that the trucks were not used by the assessee for the business of hire. On appeal, the CIT(A) allowed the claim of the assessee for the reason that the trucks were given on lease by the assessee which was one of the business of the assessee. Being aggrieved the Revenue is appeal before us. We find that the Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of ICDS Ltd. (supra) has held as under: Held, affirming the decision of the T....

....w this is an argument which merely needs to be stated to be rejected if such an argument is accepted it would lead to an absurd result. It would mean when if there was no disclaimer the export house would not be entitled to any deduction in cases where there is a loss but because disclaimer has been made both the export house and the supporting manufacturer would become entitled to deductions. The proviso to sub-section (3) of section 80HHC enables a disclaimer only to enable the export house to pass on deductions. It in no way reduces the turnover of the export house. In computing total income, the entire turnover is taken into account even though there is a disclaimer. Thus even though the disclaimer is made the taxable income of Rs. 4.39 crores has been arrived at by the Appellants after taking into account the entire turnover from export of trading goods. In arriving at the figure of Rs. 4.39 crores admittedly the loss of Rs. 6.86 crores has been taken into account. Even after disclaimer the turnover has remained the turnover of the Export House, i.e., the Appellants. The disclaimer is only for purposes of enabling the export house to pass on the deduction which it would have g....

.... the assessee has incurred loss from export of trading goods in marine division of Rs. 15,04,77,383/- and received export incentive, 90% of which is Rs. 16,36,84,806/-. The AO is disallowed deduction u/s. 80HHC in its entirety on the ground that there is no profit from marine export and only profit was in the form of increment of 90% of export incentive provided under the section. The learned CIT(A) following his order passed in the assessment year 1994-95 and 1995-96 allowed the claim of the assessee for deduction under section 80HHC of Rs. 16,36,84,806/- which is equal to 90% of export incentives subject to the gross total income of the assessee. In view of our decision in the assessment year 1994-95 and 1995-96, the assessee is entitled for deduction under section 80HHC, after netting of loss from the export incentive which works out to Rs. 1,32,07,423/-. Thus, this ground of the appeal of the Revenue is allowed. 10. The ground No. 4 of the appeal of the Revenue is directed against the order of the CIT(A) directing the AO to consider net interest as against gross interest in indirect cost while working out deduction under section 80HHC from general division. 11.

(3) Where a company has, before the commencement of this Act, issued any shares at a premium, this section shall apply as if the shares had been issued after the commencement of this Act: Provided that any part of the premiums which has been so applied that it does not at the commencement of this Act form an identifiable part of the company's reserves within the meaning of Schedule VI, shall be disregarded in determining the sum to be included in the share premium account. (Emphasis supplied) A perusal of above-mentioned section will reveal that any share premium collected by a company shall be treated as if the same is paid-up share capital of the company and it is also required to be retained in a separate account. The said amount cannot be utilized for any purpose, other than the one specified in sub-section (2). If amount lying in separate premium account is used for any other purposes, it would tantamount to reduction in share capital which will attract the provisions of sections 100 to 105 of the Companies Act. 8.

....,72,242. Thus, the addition made by Assessing Officer deserves to be upheld to the extent of Rs. 1,99,002 (Rs. 4,71,244-Rs. 2,72,242). Therefore, the order of CIT(A) is modified accordingly and we direct Assessing Officer to restrict the addition to the extent of Rs. 1,99,002. The appeal filed by the revenue is, therefore, partly allowed.' In the absence of any contrary decision being pointed out to us, we following the above decision of the Tribunal direct the AO to recompute the deduction allowable to the assessee under section 35D by including the share premium amount received by the assessee during the year along with the share capital received during the year for the purposes of taking amount of issued capital. Thus, the ground of the appeal of the assessee is allowed as above. Following the same, we allow this ground of the appeal of the assessee. 32.
