For Revenue : Shri Balakrishna, CIT-DR For Assessee : Shri P.V.S.S.Prasad, AR Date of Hearing : 08-09-2021 Date of Pronouncement : 18-11-2021 O R D E R PER S.S.GODARA, J.M. : This Revenue’s appeal for AY.2009-10 arises against the DCIT, Central Circle-1(2), Hyderabad’s assessment dated 19-04-2016 framed in furtherance to the Dispute Resolution Panel (‘DRP’)-1, Bengaluru’s directions dt.12-11-2015 in F.No.343 / DRP-BNG / 2015-16, involving proceedings u/s.143(3) r.w.s.153A r.w.s.144C(13) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 [in short, ‘the Act’]. Heard both the parties. Case file perused.
The Revenue’s substantive grievance raised in the instant lis seeks to exclude its freight charges not only from export but also from total turnover; is no more res integra as per the tribunal’s common order in AYs.2004-05, 2007-08 to 2009-10 involving this taxpayer itself decided on 15-12-2017 in the very terms against the department. We further note that the hon'ble apex court has also settled the issue in Addl.CIT Vs. HCL Technologies Ltd., (2018) 404 ITR 719 (SC) followed by the CBDT circular No.4/2018 setting it to rest in clarifying that such charges are to be excluded from both export as well as total turnover. We thus find no merit in the Revenue’s instant sole substantive grievance. No other ground has been pressed before us.
This Revenue’s appeal is dismissed in above terms.
