14 October 2013 Whether we include a illegal income in our part of income nd can claim deduction in respect of such income

14 October 2013 per income tax, there is no illegal income. So it is to be included in your total Income. with regards to expenses incurred to earn illegal income please refer to explanation to Section 37(1):

"it is hereby declared that any expenditure incurred by an assessee for any purpose which is an offence or which is prohibited by law49a shall not be deemed to have been incurred for the purpose of business or profession and no deduction or allowance shall be made in respect of such expenditure.]"

Thus any illegal expense won't be allowed.
