16 June 2010 pls its urgent

31 July 2024 Yes, the assessee can claim a deduction under Section 80-IB on the increased income resulting from the disallowance of certain expenditures. Section 80-IB allows for deductions on the profits and gains from an industrial undertaking, and this deduction is calculated based on the total profits of the eligible business.

Here's a detailed explanation and relevant case laws supporting the claim:

### **1. Understanding the Provision:**

Section 80-IB provides a deduction of 100% of the profits and gains derived from an industrial undertaking engaged in manufacturing or production of goods or providing services, subject to certain conditions. The deduction is based on the "profits and gains" of the business.

If the Assessing Officer (AO) disallows some expenses and increases the income, the increased income is essentially part of the profits and gains of the business. Therefore, the deduction under Section 80-IB can be claimed on this increased profit as well.

### **2. Relevant Case Laws:**

1. **CIT vs. M/s. S. V. Plastics (P.) Ltd. (2006) 281 ITR 531 (Guj):**
- **Facts:** The assessee was a manufacturer eligible for deductions under Section 80-IB. The AO had disallowed certain expenses which increased the taxable income. The question was whether the increased income could be considered for the deduction under Section 80-IB.
- **Decision:** The Gujarat High Court held that the deduction under Section 80-IB is allowable on the total profits, including any increased income due to disallowances. The rationale was that the deduction is computed based on the profits derived from the business, and an increase in the profits (due to disallowance) is still eligible for the deduction.

2. **CIT vs. M/s. Sona Industries (2006) 283 ITR 70 (Guj):**
- **Facts:** The case dealt with an assessee claiming deductions under Section 80-IB. The AO disallowed certain expenses, which led to an increase in the declared income. The issue was whether the deduction could be claimed on the increased income.
- **Decision:** The Gujarat High Court ruled that the increased income due to disallowance should be eligible for the deduction under Section 80-IB. It was emphasized that the deduction should be computed based on the total profits of the business, regardless of how those profits are arrived at.

3. **CIT vs. Hitech Polyvinyl (P) Ltd. (2016) 73 taxmann.com 118 (Delhi):**
- **Facts:** The AO had disallowed certain expenses, leading to an increase in the taxable income of the assessee. The issue was whether the increased income could be included for computing the deduction under Section 80-IB.
- **Decision:** The Delhi High Court confirmed that the deduction under Section 80-IB should be computed on the total income of the industrial undertaking, including any increase due to disallowances.

### **Conclusion:**

The general principle, as supported by the case laws, is that the deduction under Section 80-IB should be calculated based on the total profits of the business, including any increased income resulting from disallowance of expenses. The rationale is that the deduction is aimed at incentivizing industrial undertakings based on their profits, and any increase in profits due to disallowances should also benefit from the deduction.

For accurate application of these principles to your specific case, it is always best to consult with a tax advisor or professional.
