Learned counsel for the revenue submitted that the Tribunal has failed to appreciate the provisions of Explanation 1(f) to Section 115JB(2) in a right perspective. Referring to the said provision it was submitted that the amount or amounts of expenditure relatable to any income to which Section 10 other than the provisions contained in clause (38) thereof or Section 11 or Section 12 apply has to be considered for the purpose of Section 115JB(2) while considering the book profits.
