Issues involved: Appeal against CIT (A) order u/s 80IA - Eligibility of steam as power, Computation of deduction from UPSEB receipts, Inclusion of steam sale proceeds, Disallowance of depreciation.
Eligibility of steam as power: The Revenue appealed against CIT (A) allowing deduction u/s 80IA, arguing that steam being a form of energy does not qualify as power. The Tribunal, citing precedent, upheld CIT (A)'s decision, stating that steam is a form of power, making the assessee eligible for the deduction. Computation of deduction from UPSEB receipts: Revenue contested CIT (A)'s decision to include 50% of UPSEB receipts for deduction u/s 80IA. Referring to past Tribunal decisions, the Tribunal upheld CIT (A)'s ruling, stating that the Assessing Officer was not justified in reducing the amount from the gross receipt eligible for deduction. Inclusion of steam sale proceeds: Revenue objected to CIT (A)'s directive to include steam sale proceeds. The Tribunal, following precedent, affirmed that the assessee is eligible for deduction on steam sale proceeds, regardless of the realized amount, as it is considered a form of power. Disallowance of depreciation: Revenue challenged CIT (A)'s instruction not to allow depreciation when not claimed by the assessee. Citing previous Tribunal decisions, the Tribunal upheld CIT (A)'s ruling, stating that the Assessing Officer cannot force depreciation on the assessee to reduce the deduction under section 80IA if not claimed. Result: The appeal by the Revenue was dismissed, and the Tribunal upheld CIT (A)'s decisions on all grounds, based on consistent application of legal principles and precedents.
