16 July 2008 According to section 10AA of Income tax act, 100% deduction will be available for the unit -II as it is a mew site.
you have to show the income separately of both the units taking 50% deduction for next 5 years for Unit -I and 100% for next 5 years for Unit -II.

23 July 2008 Dear Sachin,

Thanks for your prompt opinion, I would like to get more clarification on the above subject.

Though fresh investments, new machinery, new managerial employees, etc. are going to happen in the new unit, however the product and customers will be the same as of unit no. I.

Despite the above facts, will the exemption to unit no.II be available under 10AA ie 100% for 1st 5 years and 50% for next 5 years.

Your early reply will be highly appreciated.

Many Thanks in advance

Directors and the shareholders are the same as
