Court: Chennai

Decided on: Oct-29-1997

Reported in: [1999]240ITR868(Mad)

N.V. Balasubramanian, J.1. The assessee in the case is a company. The assessee claimed development rebate of Rs. 1,14,359 during the course of its assessment proceedings for the assessment year 1971-72 in respect of a new machinery purchased by it during that year. The Income-tax Officer, originally disallowed the claim as the requisite reserve was not created. The Appellate Assistant Commissioner, however, on appeal, held that since the company has incurred a loss and there is no assessable income during that year, the requirement of creating a reserve has to be waived in view of the Board's circular dated October 14, 1965. The Revenue accepted the order of the Appellate Assistant Commissioner. The Income-tax Officer computed the development rebate of Rs. 1,14,359 and carried forward the same to the subsequent assessment year 1972-73, with which we are concerned in the present tax case reference. In the assessment year 1972-73, the assessee claimed the development rebate of a sum of R...
