Recapture on premature disposal reverses deduction for deposits into designated tea, coffee and rubber development accounts, taxing attributable cost on disposal.
Clause 48 permits a deduction for deposits into designated tea, coffee and rubber development accounts, with computation governed by Schedule IX; withdrawals or transfers are chargeable to tax in the year of transfer/withdrawal as per Schedule IX, and disposal of assets acquired under the scheme within the protective holding period results in deeming that portion of the asset cost attributable to earlier deductions as business income in the year of sale or transfer.
