Bot Summary: The learned CIT(A) erred in confirming the order of DCIT, ignoring the provision of section 72(2) r.w.s. 32(2) of the Act and denying the set off of un absorbed depreciation of A.Y. 2001- 02 amounting to Rs. 1,985,585/-. Regarding Ground No. 5, he submitted that it is noted by CIT on page 21 of his order that the A.O. has reduced from Book Profit an amount of Rs. 20,07,33,204/- being proportionate income relatable to section 10A by taking proportion of Export Turnover/ Total Turnover. 11 Lacs because he has added back the first amount and reduced the second amount to nullify the adjustments made by the assessee in computation of book profit. As per the provisions of section 115 JB of I. T. Act, what is required to be reduced from net profit as per P/L account to compute Book Profit is the amount of income to which any of the provisions of section 10, 11 or 12 etc. In this view of the matter, we find force in the submissions of the learned AR of the assessee that instead of reducing the amount of deduction allowed u/s 10A, the reduction from Book Profit should be of the amount of income to which any of the provisions of section 10, 11 or 12 etc. On factual aspect, he has to examine the claim of the assessee as to what is correct amount of income, which is required to be reduced from Book Profit. We set aside the order of CIT on this issue and restore the matter back to the A.O. for a fresh decision with the direction that the assessee should produce full detail and evidences in support of its claim about income eligible for deduction u/s 10A and the A.O. should reduce such income eligible for deduction u/s 10A and is lying credited in P L Account from Net Profit as per P L Account instead of reducing the amount of actual deduction allowed u/s 10A. Needless to say, he should allow reasonable opportunity of being heard to the assessee.

Appellant craves leave to add to or alter, by deletion, substitution or otherwise, any or all of above grounds of appeal, at any time before or during hearing of appeal. 3. Learned AR of assessee submitted that Ground No. 1 is general and Ground Nos. 2 to 4 are of academic interest because deduction was 3 ITA No.1178/B/2014 allowed u/s 10A in respect of enhanced income. Hence, we are required to decide only Ground No. 5. 4. Regarding Ground No. 5, he submitted that it is noted by CIT (A) on page 21 of his order that A.O. has reduced from Book Profit amount of Rs. 20,07,33,204/- being proportionate income relatable to section 10A by taking proportion of Export Turnover/ Total Turnover. Thereafter, he drawn our attention to page 38 of paper book and it was pointed out that export is Rs. 152,17,02,392/- and expenses incurred for these exports is Rs. 126,90,11,567/- and there profit on export is Rs. 25,26,90,825/- and this amount should be deducted from Book Profit being actual Profit from Exports and not proportionate amount as has been done by A.O. Learned DR of revenue supported orders of authorities below. 5. We have considered rival submissions. We find that A.O. has also reduced amount of Rs. 2007.33 Lacs from Book Profit as deduction u/s 10A.This is same amount which is allowed by him as deduction u/s 10A in normal computation. He has also noted these two amounts of Rs. 15217.02 Lacs and Rs. 12690.11 Lacs because he has added back first amount and reduced second amount to nullify adjustments made by assessee in computation of book profit. As per provisions of section 115 JB of I. T. Act, what is required to be reduced from net profit as per P/L account to compute Book Profit is amount of income to which any of provisions of section 10, 11 or 12 etc. apply and not amount allowed as 4 ITA No.1178/B/2014 deduction u/s any of these sections. In this view of matter, we find force in submissions of learned AR of assessee that instead of reducing amount of deduction allowed u/s 10A, reduction from Book Profit should be of amount of income to which any of provisions of section 10, 11 or 12 etc. apply. But on factual aspect, he has to examine claim of assessee as to what is correct amount of income, which is required to be reduced from Book Profit. Hence, we set aside order of CIT (A) on this issue and restore matter back to A.O. for fresh decision with direction that assessee should produce full detail and evidences in support of its claim about income eligible for deduction u/s 10A and A.O. should reduce such income eligible for deduction u/s 10A and is lying credited in P & L Account from Net Profit as per P & L Account instead of reducing amount of actual deduction allowed u/s 10A. Needless to say, he should allow reasonable opportunity of being heard to assessee. Ground No. 5 is allowed for statistical purposes. 6. In result, appeal of assessee is partly allowed for statistical purposes. Order pronounced in open court on date mentioned on caption page. Sd/- Sd/- (SUNIL KUMAR YADAV) (A.K.
