Issues:
1. Interpretation of duty drawn back accrual for tax purposes. 2. Treatment of unutilized MODVAT credit under Section 43B of the Income Tax Act. 3. Deletion of addition on account of alleged excess consumption of raw materials. 4. Reduction of deduction allowable under Section 80-IB for computing deduction under Section 80HHC. Interpretation of Duty Drawn Back Accrual: The case involved the interpretation of when duty drawn back accrues to the assessee for tax purposes. The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) had held that it accrues only on passing of the order by the appropriate authority and not in the year of export. The High Court, in line with a previous decision, ruled in favor of the Assessee and against the Revenue on this issue. Treatment of Unutilized MODVAT Credit: The ITAT had to decide whether unutilized MODVAT credit for earlier years adjusted in the assessment years in question should be treated as actual payment of excise duty under Section 43B of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The High Court, contrary to the ITAT, ruled in favor of the Revenue and against the Assessee on this matter. Deletion of Addition on Excess Consumption of Raw Materials: The Assessing Officer had made an addition on account of alleged excess consumption of raw materials and components shown by the Assessee. The ITAT had deleted this addition. The High Court, considering the facts and circumstances of the case, ruled in favor of the Assessee and against the Revenue on this issue. Reduction of Deduction under Section 80-IB for Section 80HHC: The ITAT had set aside the order of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) and directed the Assessing Officer not to reduce the amount of deduction allowable under Section 80-IB from the profits of business for computing deduction under Section 80HHC. Citing relevant case law, the High Court answered this question in the affirmative, in favor of the Revenue and against the Assessee. Disposition: The High Court disposed of the appeal accordingly, with different outcomes on each issue, providing detailed reasoning and referring to relevant legal precedents to support its judgments.
