Where the sale proceeds are being received in India in Indian Currency, the benefit of section 10(B) can not be availed. Kindly read the mandatory conditions of sub-section (3) which states that, "(3) This section applies to the undertaking, if the sale proceeds of articles or things or computer software exported out of India are received in, or brought into, India by the assessee in convertible foreign exchange, within a period of six months from the end of the previous year or, within such further period as the competent authority may allow in this behalf."
