Derived from
Derived from, the words 'derived from' in s. 80HH of the Income-tax Act, 1961 must be understood as something which has direct or immediate nexus with the appellant's industrial undertaking.

The derivation of profits on the deposit made with the Electricity Board cannot be said to flow directly from the industrial undertaking itself. (AIR 1955 SC 74 foll), Pandian Chemicals v. Commissioner of Income Tax, (2003) 5 SCC 590 (592).

Equality of opportunity for all citizens
Equality of opportunity for all citizens, Clause (1) of Article 16 clearly provides for equality of opportunity to all citizens in the services under the State. It is important to note that the Constitution uses the words 'equality of opportunity for all citizens.' This inherently implies that the opportunity must be given not only to a particular section of the society or a particular class of citizens who may be advanced or otherwise more affluent but to all classes of citizens. This, therefore, can be achieved by making a reasonable classification so that every class of citizens is duly represented in the services which will enable equality of opportu-nity to all citizens. The classification, however, must be a reasonable one and must fulfil the following conditions:(i) it must have a rational basis;(ii) it must have a close nexus with the object sought to be achieved;(iii) it should not select any person for hostile discrimination at the cost of others, State of Kerala v. N.M. Thom...

Income

The definition of 'income' in Shaw Wallace & Co. case, 1932 (59) IA 206, as a periodical monetary return coming in with some sort of regularity, or expected regularity, from definite sources must be read with reference to the peculiar facts of that case.
