CORAM :-
HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE A.K. SIKRI
HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.L. MEHTA 1. Whether Reporters of Local newspapers may be allowed to see the Judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporter or not? 3. Whether the Judgment should be reported in the Digest?
A.K. SIKRI, J.
All these appeals involved common question of law. For the sake of convenience, we can reproduce the questions of law framed in one of these appeals:- “(a) Whether on a correct interpretation of the relevant statutory provisions, Tribunal was justified n law in directing the Assessing Officer to allow deduction under section 80HHC of the Act in respect of “profit” on sale of DEPB?
(b)Whether on the facts of the present case, Tribunal was justified in law in impliedly holding that the assessee would be entitled to deduction as per the first proviso below sub-Section 3 of Section 80HHC in respect of DEPB Credit utilized by the assessee?”
The orders passed by the Tribunal in all these cases are brief because of the reason that the Tribunal has simply followed (which it was supposed to) the decision of the ITAT Special Bench, Mumbai in the case of Topman Export Vs. ITO [ITA No. 5769/Mum./2006 decided on dated 11th August, 2009.]. By that judgment, the Special Bench of the 2011:DHC:1019-DB
Tribunal has held that the face value of DEPB is chargeable to tax u/s 28 (iiib) at the time of accrual of income, that is, when the application for DEPB is filed with the competent authority pursuant to exports and profit in sale of DEPB representing the excess of sale proceeds of DEPB over its face value is liable to be considered u/s 28(iiid) at the time of its sale.
The Revenue had filed the appeal in the High Court Adjudicate at Bombay against the aforesaid decision of the Special Bench of the ITAT. The Bombay High Court has reversed the decision of the Tribunal and the judgment of the Bombay High Court is reported as Commissioner of Income Tax Vs. Kalpataru Colours and Chemicals, 328 ITR 451.
Since the Tribunal had simply followed Special Bench decision in Topman Exports (supra) which stands over ruled, we set aside the order passed by the Tribunal in all these cases and remit the cases back to the Tribunal to decide these appeals on merits after taking into account factual position in all these cases.
These appeals stand disposed of on above terms.
