Assessee made the alternate claim that once the expenditure is excluded from export turnover, it is to be excluded from total turnover as well, supported by various decisions of ITAT and also decision of Hon ble Bombay High Court in the case of Gem Plus Jewellery India Ltd., 330 ITR 175. DRP however, while accepting that decisions are in favour of assessee and since the matter is further contested, to keep the matters alive the A.O s action was upheld.

In other words, to the extent of export turnover, there would be a commonality between the numerator and the denominator of the formula.

..... ed so. If they have not chosen to expressly define what the total turnover means, then when the total turnover includes export turnover, the meaning assigned by the legislature to the export turnover is to be respected and given effect to, while interpreting the total turnover which is inclusive of the export turnover. Therefore the formula for computation of the deduction under Section 10-A, would be as under : Profits of the business X Export turnover (Export turnover + domestic turnover total turnover) 11. In that view of the matter, we do not see any error committed by the Tribunal in following the judgments rendered in the context of Section BOHHC in interpreting Section 10-A when the principle underlying both these provisions is .....

The ITAT Hyderabad Bench in case of Patni Telecom (P) Ltd vs. ITO reported in (2009) 120 ITD 105 also held similar view. Respectfully following the aforesaid decisions, we hold tha .....

..... S indicating that the claims are supported by Form 26AS of the department. In respect of this, as A.O. has given less credit Assessee wants direction on this. 4.1.
