AYOKI FABRICON PRIVATE LTD.,PUNE vs. DEPUTY COMMISSIONER OF INCOME-TAX,
What did the Tribunal hold?
The Tribunal held that the erection and fabrication of factories are construction activities and not 'manufacture or production of an article or thing' as required for additional depreciation. However, the reassessment proceedings for a later year were found to be invalid due to being initiated beyond the four-year period without valid reasons.
What were the facts?
The assessee claimed additional depreciation on machinery used for erecting and fabricating sugar and cement plants. The Assessing Officer denied this claim, stating the assessee was not engaged in 'manufacture or production of an article or thing'. For a subsequent assessment year, reassessment proceedings were initiated after four years to disallow the same claim.
What were the issues?
Whether erection and fabrication of factories qualify as 'manufacture or production of an article or thing' for additional depreciation, and whether reassessment proceedings initiated after four years were valid.
Which sections of the Income-tax Act were involved?
