The first issue before us is whether the assessee is a developer and builder and, thus, entitled to deduction u/s. 80IB(10) qua the Sadguru Krupa Project, or only a Contractor and, thus, not so entitled. No argument, much less materials, has been advanced or adduced before us
S.80IB(3)(ii) provides for deduction to small scale industrial units engaged in manufacture or producing articles or things. S.80IB(14)(b) defines a small scale industrial undertaking, which is regarded as such under S.11B of the Industries(Development and Regulation) Act, 1951.
The assessee is following Percentage Completion Method. This method is recognised by the Income-tax Act for disclosing the profit in the case of a builder. The purpose of granting deduction u/s. 80IB(10) is to promote housing projects.
In the instant situation, the revenue is taxing the profit on percentage completion method but suggesting to grant deduction only on completion of the project. If the stand of the revenue is accepted then only on completion of project an assessee would be entitled for deduction under section 80-IB(10), then undisputedly an anomaly shall arise as to how and when the tax should be charged.
In the instant case, the search took place in the year 2002 and, therefore, the instant case is governed by Chapter XIV-B. Section 158BB of Chapter XIV-B deals with computation of undisclosed income of the block period.
Assessee was held entitled for deduction u/s.80IB(10) in case there was enhanced income on account of statutory disallowance u/s.43B, 40(a)(ia) and 36(1)(va), etc. In the instant case nature of receipts on credit side of Profit and Loss Account for eligible housing projects u/s.80IB(10) was the same and disallowance of expenditure on the debit side would only result into enhancement of net profit. Accordingly, the assessee’s claim was liable to be allowed in view of the ratio of the decisions cited (supra). As stated above, assessee is not eligible for deduction u/s.80IB(10) pertaining to its Cosmos project. The Assessing Officer has held in assessment order that sum of claim u/s. 80IB(10) was allowable to assessee for its Heliconia project. Thus, if any disallowance u/s.43B, 40(a)(ia) or 36(10(va) etc., relate to Heliconia project that only can be considered for claim u/s. 80IB(10) and corresponding enhanced income.
Since the housing project was completed after 31.3.2008, the assessee has not fulfilled the second requisite condition for claiming deduction under section 80IB(10) of the Act and therefore the assessee is not entitled for deduction under section 80IB(10) of the Act.
The owner of the industry shall issue serially cash/credit memos, for sales of finished goods which will contain name and address of the purchasers, descriptions of the goods sold and its value, exemption certificate number and date, signature of the seller.
Assessee is a firm engaged in business of builder and promoter. The issue before us is regarding allowability of deduction u/s.80IB(10) of the Act on partially complete project. The Assessing Officer has denied the deduction on the ground that project was not complete within the stipulated time. There is no dispute with regard to other conditions laid u/s.80IB(10) of the Act,
Claim for deduction under Section 80IB cannot be denied in this year based on the findings given by the Assessing Officer or by the virtue of surrender of claim before the Assessing Officer. It is a duty casts upon the Assessing Officer or to the appellate court to see that if a deduction or a claim for exemption is statutory allowable, then the same has to be allowed, if the assessee fulfils the prescribed conditions required under the statute.
