08 September 2010 Sir,

Whether additional depreciation u/s 32(1)(iia) is available for plant & machinery purchased by rice mills. Whether the activity undertaken by rice & flour mills are considered as manufacturing/ production for sec 32?

09 September 2010 The Additional Depreciation on new Machinery or plant is allowed u/s 32(iia) to an assessee which is an Industrial Undertaking i.e. it should be engaged in the business of manufacture or production of any article or thing.

Therefore, we are of the opinion that common sense approach will have to be adopted and those undertakings would qualify as industrial undertakings .which are involved in „manufacturing activity .

In your case, by no strectch of imagination , can it be said that the activity carried by the rice mill is a manufacturing activity and hence, additional depreciation would not be allowed.
