..... ssions of the AR and the order of the Hon ble ITAT, in the case of M/s Goenka Diamond Jewellers Ltd. for .A.Y. 2008-09.

Vasisth Chay Vaapar Ltd. 330 ITR 440 held that when there is a provision in another enactment which contains a non obstente clause than that would override the provisions of the Income Tax Act. Thus one will have to consider the implication of section 51 of the SEZ Act. It means that anything inconsistent to the provision of the SEZ Act will not be considered.

Under the SEZ Act, the trading is included in the services provided the trading is export of imported goods. We therefore, feel that the assessee is entitled to deduction u/s 10AA of the Act and therefore, the ld. CIT(A) was justified .....
