Bot Summary: | The assessee claimed that the profits derived from export should be computed in accordance with clause of sub-section of section 80HHC. For the assessment year 1987-88, respondent claimed the deduction under section 80HHC to the extent of Rs. 16,27,562. For this purpose, the profit derived from export had been calculated in accordance with sub-section of section 80HHC. However, the provisions of section 80AB was also applicable. While completing the assessment under section 143(3), it was found that there was a loss from Kerala tea and only a small profit from Tamil Nadu tea. After setting off the losses from tea the learned Assessing Officer, vide his order dated March 19, 1990, held that the deduction is not permissible, as section 80AB is to be applied. Learned Commissioner, vide his order in appeal dated August 29, 1999, appeal was partly allowed in respect that the Assessing Officer was not justified in estimating the value of unyielding rubber trees as on January 1, 1974, at Rs. 100 and according to the appellant it cannot be less than Rs. 200. Learned Tribunal, vide its order dated July 2, 1997, allowed the claim of the respondent-assessee by holding that section 80AB has no application to a case covered by section 80HHC of the Act. The order of the High Court is accordingly set aside and the order of the Assessing Officer is restored. |
