Maral Overseas Ltd vs. ACIT (ITAT Indore Special Bench)

S. 10B: Extension of relief period available for existing units

 

The assessee, a 100 % EOU, commenced commercial production in AY 1992-93 and was entitled to claim exemption u/s 10B(3) in any 5 consecutive assessment years falling within the period of 8 years. The assessee did not claim a deduction in the first 3 assessment years as there was a loss and claimed it for the first time in AY 1995-96. The eligibility period was upto AY 1999-2000. With effect from 1.4.1999, the period of exemption prescribed u/s 10B(3) of 5 years was substituted by 10 years. The assessee claimed that it was entitled for exemption u/s 10-B for a further period of two years i.e. AY 2000-01 and 2001-02. Thereafter, w.e.f. 1.4.2001, s. 10B was substituted by the Finance Act, 2000.
