Green Infra Solar Energy Limited Vs ACIT (ITAT Delhi)
The first ground of appeal in all the three appeals before us, is regarding whether the learned CIT(A) erred in confirming addition of CSR expenses to book profit, when there is no such requirement to adjust the same while computing book profit as per provisions of section 115JB of the Act.
At the time of hearing before us, Mr. Biren V. Shah, CA, the learned Authorized Representative (‘Ld. AR’, for short) for assessee submitted before us that this issue is squarely covered in favour of the assessee and against Revenue vide aforesaid order dated 10/08/2022 of Co-ordinate Bench of ITAT, Delhi in the case of GE Power System India Private Limited Vs. ACIT vide order dated 10/08/2022 for AY 2016-17 in ITA No.9120/Del/2019.
The learned Sr. DR agreed with the submissions of the learned AR for the assessee.
Neither side has brought any facts and circumstances or legal submissions or decided precedents or any other materials for our consideration, to persuade us to take a view different from the view taken in the aforesaid order dated 10/08/2022 in the case of GE Power System India Pvt. Ltd. (supra) by Co-ordinate Bench of ITAT, Delhi. In view of the foregoing, and respectfully following the aforesaid order dated 10/08/2022 of Co-ordinate Bench of ITAT, Delhi in the case of GE Power System India Private Ltd. (supra), we decide the issue in favour of the assessee and against Revenue. Accordingly, Ground No.1 in all the three appeals before us is hereby allowed.

Thanks for sharing this article. The heading suggest “Exclude the CSR expenses in the Computation of Book Profit u/s 115 JB which actually would suggest that the profits to be computed without considering (excluding) such expense whereas the decision is that these expenses need not be adjusted in the computation i.e. they would remain included in the schedule of expenses as per statutory profit & loss account. The heading may please be tweaked suitably.
