Act on the basis of appellate order in Assessee case on similar issue for A.Y.2006-07, without appreciation that the principle of Res-judicata does not apply to the assessee s claim for the assessment year under consideration. 4.

The material, from which the thing or product is manufactured, may necessarily lose its identity or may be transformed into basic or essential product. Manufacture is a transformation of an article which is commercially different from one which is converted. The moment there is transformation into a new commodity commercially known as a distinct and separate commodity having its own character, use and name, the identity of the original commodity ceases to exist and the commodity coming into existence will serve no purpose other than the said purpose for which it was manufactured. Manufacture is the end-result of one or more processes through which the origin ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... the loss. During the course of these processes, the mechanical stresses are developed inside the lamination. It is tested to find out as to how much stress has developed and how much losses will be increased. It is to be done so as to find out as to whether with these stresses, the transformer core will give desired result as per technical specification or not. In such a situation, the lamination is to be passed through a temperature of more than 820 degree Celsius, which removes the stresses and also improves and increases the quality and structure of the lamination sheet used in a transformer core. This process is called annealing process. The next process is known as core assembly. Some of the processes are performed thereafter. In view .....

Otherwise even without annealing process, transformer cores have all the qualities, which are essential to use it in the transformer for controlling supply of electricity. Therefore, this is not essential process of manufacturing. Hence, from the evidences on record, the Vice President rightly held that the assesses were engaged in the manufacturing or producing an article or thing and had rightly allowed exemption under section 80 IB. Respectfully following the decision of the Co-ordinate Bench, we hold that the process used by the assessee in its business is eligible for deduction u/s. 80IB of the Act. 5 .....
