08 February 2009 Section 35D clearly states that the expenses incurred for setting up the unit.

The discount what you are giving is not for setting up the unit. since the company wants quick capitala they are giving discount.

Therefore discounts cannot be included in the preliminery expenses.

You have to carry it like miscellaneous expenses not written off and to be amortised over a period of 5 or 10 years depending on the resoultion passed by the board.
