Section 80JJAA is the section in which it seems that the FM had unwillingly and under pressure introduced the provision in the law. . The provision is applicable in respect of an Indian Company's Industrial Undertaking . The Deduction allowable is 30% of Additional Wages. Workman should not be a casual or contract workman. A qualified permanent Workman should be paid wages of at least 300 Days. . Additional Wages have two different criteria depending upon the fact whether the Unit is new or old. . New unit :1. Minimum Required Workman 100. 2. Unit employs 125 new workers. 3. So wages paid to 25 new workers is Called the Additional Wages. 4. Suppose these 25 workers are paid @4000 pm for 11 months . Additional Wages for the previous year = 11,00,000/- 5. 30% of 11.00 lac is the amount deductible U/s 80JJAA i.e 3.30 lakhs can be deducted from the company's GTI. . If the unit starts on 06.06.xxxx it will not get any deduction as 300 days condition for workman's employment is not complied. . EXISTING UNIT : --------------- The above unit will become existing unit in the next year. . Or any other existing unit which employs more than 10% new workers-then it will be eligible for deduction. . Taking the above case if the unit is having 125 workmen and employs 15 more new workers- wages paid to these will be treated as additional wages. . I hope, now you may understand the provisions clearly. .
