CIT Vs. Kerela Solvent Extractions Ltd.

Held by the Hon`able Court that section 43B lays down only an aditional condition for allowing deduction which is otherwise allowable under the provisions of Income Tax Act. Therefore if an expenditure is not allowable under the Income Tax Act, it shall not be allowed merely because it fulfills the conditions laid down in Section 43B.
