On facts, in circumstances of the case and in law, the learned CIT-A erred in confirming reworking of deduction u/s 80-IC at Rs. 2,38,28,650/- by the assessing officer, ignoring the consistent basis followed by the appellant in the past and accepted by the department. 2.

.... Allocation of common expenses is a recognised method and accepted by appellate authorities. In M/s Rajasthan State Mines & Others vs. Dy. CIT ITA No. 704/JP/2018, direction was given by Hon. Jaipur Tribunal to allocate common expenditure in proportion to sales of eligible undertaking and non-eligible undertaking. Thus this basis of allocation has been approved by Judicial Authority and is prudent and rational. This method has been followed by the assessee for past number of years consistently and accepted by the department in the past. Hence there is no reason to deviate from this rational basis in the current year even assuming it suits revenue in one year/E TAX DEPAR Kind attention of learned A.O. is drawn to d....

....IC(7), the provisions of section 80IA(5) have been made applicable to the undertaking or enterprises eligible for deduction u/s 80IC of the Act. And, section 80IA(5) begins with a notwithstanding clause. Thus when provisions of section 80IC are read alongwith the provisions of section 80AB of the Act, we find that section 80IC of the Act clearly provides that its provisions are to prevail over the provisions of section 80AB of the Act which was absent in the case of section 80HHC, as noted by the Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of IPCA Laboratories Ltd. (supra). Therefore, the proposition laid down by the Hon'ble Jurisdictional High Court in the case of Him Teknoforge Ltd. (supra) that the profits and losses of the priority units are to be c....

....s", the meaning for which can be gathered from section 80IA(1) wherein business carried out by eligible undertaking have been referred to as eligible business. Section 80IC, on the other hand, has no reference to business and uses only the work "undertaking or enterprise". This distinction, in our view, is very critical and important. Literally interpreting the applicability of the provisions of section 80IA(5) is "business specific" and, therefore, includes all eligible undertakings carrying out eligible business. On the other hand, section 80IC(7) states that the provisions of section 80IA(5) would apply to eligible undertaking or enterprises meaning thereby that the word 'business' used in section 80IA(5) is to be substituted with eligib....

.... 21. Further as rightly pointed out by the Ld. counsel for assessee that if the interpretation given in the case of Him Teknoforge Ltd. (supra) is applied for the purpose of section 80IC, it would lead to an anomalous situation creating a difficulty for calculating the quantum of deduction, since as rightly pointed out by the Ld. counsel for assessee, the section provides for different rates of deduction of profits for different years in case of specific undertakings and if netting of profits and losses of all eligible undertakings are resorted to, as laid down in the decision of Him Teknoforge Ltd. (supra), in a situation where the different eligible units are entitled to different rates of deduction of profits, it would be difficult to d....
