We have considered the rival submissions. The first part of the reason recorded deals with the question regarding the turnover of the Koramangala unit of ₹ 2,79,81,165/- not having been taken into account while calculating the total turnover for the calculation of deduction u/s. 80 HHC. Also the assessee has removed loss of this unit of ₹ 12,69,654/- from the calculation of the profits of the business under clause (baa) of Explanation after 80 HHC (4C).

The grounds taken by the assessee are, therefore, partly allowed for statistical purposes. 9. Grounds No.4, 4.1 and 4.2 are against the confirming the action of the AO in holding that the Sales Tax Refund of ₹ 6,14,188/- and Misc. Income of ₹ 2167 are in the nature of other income not connected with the main business of the assessee. 10. Brief facts on the above issue are that the AO noted that the assessee has not excluded the sales tax refund of ₹ 6,14,188 and miscellaneous income of ₹ 2,167/- and other receipts for the purpose of deduction under section 80HHC. According to the AO, these incomes are clearly in the nature of other income as they are not connected with the main business of the assessee. The AO following the decision of the Hon.

However, in the absence of any arguments or supporting material in respect of miscellaneous income of ₹ 2167/-, the same is therefore, rejected and accordingly the grounds taken by the assessee are partly allowed. 14. Ground No.5 is against the disallowance of car expenses and depreciation. 15.
