9. The plain reading of the above clause (iv) of 35(1) reveals that the deduction shall be admissible u/s 35(2) when any expenditure is capital in nature; Such capital expenditure is incurred on the scientific research; that scientific research must be related to the business; and that business must have been carried on by the assessee.

5.6 There cannot be a straight jacket formula for detection of these defaults of concealment or of furnishing inaccurate particulars of income and indeed concealment of particulars of income and in accurate particulars of income may at times overlap. It depends upon the facts of the each case. In the assessment proceedings the ITO while ascertaining the total income chargeable to tax would be in a position
