Bot Summary: | The Court: Mr. Sen, learned advocate for the appellant, tries to contend that provided an undertaking or any enterprise carries on the principal business of developing, operating or maintaining infrastructure facility, etc. The entire profit and gains from that business is deductible, under Section 80-IA(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Section 80-IA(1) specifically provides for inclusion of profits and gains from business specifically mentioned in sub-section, as deductible from income. In order to claim this deduction the profit and gains must arise from the infrastructure related activities described in sub-section. Here, the deduction claimed arises out of auction of cargo. This is certainly not the business referred to in sub-section. The appeal and the connected stay application are dismissed. |
