Ground No.2:- Exclusion of income earned in the nature of cash discount amounting to Rs. 2,32,004/- from the profits eligible for deduction under Section 80IE of the Act is the issue before us. 9. We have heard the respective parties and also perused the relevant materials available on record. 10. The above cash discount amounting to Rs. 2,32,004/- was received for making prompt payments to the vendor on account of purchases made from them by the appellant. It is the case of the assessee that rather than reducing such discount from the purchase cost they have shown it separately under the head "other income" which, however, does not change its nature of having direct nexus with manufacturing activity carried out by the appellant undertaking and, therefore, the same is allowable to be claimed deduction under Section 80IE of the Act. 11.

....e, has credited the same in Profit and Loss Account and claimed under Section 80IE of the Act. 15. While arguing the matter the Ld. Counsel appearing for the assessee further submitted before us that in the event the interest income is not eligible for deduction under Section 80IE of the Act then netting off interest income shall be excluded from profits for deduction under Section 80IE of the Act. On this aspect he has relied upon the judgment passed by the Hon'ble Jurisdictional High Court in the case of Nirma Ltd. (supra) and the judgment passed by the Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of ACG Associated Capsules (P.) Ltd. vs. CIT, reported in 18 traxmann.com 137 (SC) and also the judgment passed by the Hon'ble Jurisdictional High Court in the case of CIT vs. Metrochem Industries Ltd., reported in 79 taxmann.com 440 (Guj.). 16. On the contrary, the Ld. DR relied upon the order passed by the authorities below. However, he has not been able to controvert such submission made by the Ld. AR. We have further considered the order passed by the Ld. CIT(A) wherefrom it appears that the Ld. CIT(A) simply following the order passed by his predecessor rejected the above claim made by ....

In other words, ninety per cent. of not the gross rent or gross interest but only the net interest or net rent, which has been included in the profits of business of the assessee as computed under the head "Profits and gains of business or profession", is to be deducted under clause (1) of Explanation (baa) to section 80HHC for determining the profits of the business.' In view of such decision, question No. 3 raised by the Revenue gets automatically answered since the amounts referred to in the said question are to be excluded for the purpose of deduction under section 80HHC of the Act. Learned counsel for the Revenue vehemently contended that the ratio of the decision in the case of ACG Associated Capsules Pvt. Ltd. (supra) cannot be applied to a situation where the exclusion from the claim of deduction relates to section 80HH or section 80-I of the Act. He strenuously urged that the language used in both the sets of provisions are different. Se....
