Various observation made by the Authorities below in their respective orders are incorrect and untenable. 2.That without prejudice to the grounds no. 1 above, the authorities below had wrongly taken the figure of Duty drawback at ₹ 13,98,31,925/- as against the correct figure of Duty Draw back actually received at ₹ 7,29,34,000/-.

Further, the decision in the case of Liberty India relates to A.Y. 2001-02 whereas the provisions of section 80IC were inserted by Finance Act 2003 w.e.f. 1-4-2004 and, therefore, the Hon ble Supreme Court had no occasion to consider section 80IC. Further, the marginal note to sections 80IA, 80IB etc. talks about deduction in respect of profits and gains from certain industrial undertakings or enterprises, while marginal note to section 80IC reads special provision in respect of certain u .....

However, we find that this issue is squarely covered against the assessee by the decision of Hon ble Supreme Court in the case of Liberty India vs. CIT reported in 317 ITR 218. Hon ble Court has held that DEPB receipts are not derived from an industrial undertaking rather their genesis is from the beneficiary scheme formulated under Central Excise Act etc. They are the ancillary profit. The learned counsel for the assessee submitted that the Hon ble Supreme Court has not taken into consideration the amendment in sec. 28 which ha been given effect from Ist of April 1998.
