This appeal has been preferred by the revenue under Section 260-A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (for short, “the Act”) against the order of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Amritsar in I.T.A. No.335(ASR)/2009 for the assessment year 2004-05 proposing to raise following substantial questions of law:-

¶14

“(i) Whether on the facts and circumstances of the case, the ITAT was right in law in not holding that total sale consideration inclusive of face value of DEPB and premium amount received thereof represents profit chargeable under sections 28(iiid) and 28(iiie) of the Income Tax Act, 1961?

¶15

(ii) Whether on the facts and circumstances of the case, the ITAT was right in law in not holding that profit on transfer of DEPB entitlement represents the entire amount inclusive of premium of sale of such DEPB?

¶16

I.T.A. No.746 of 2010

¶17

¶18

(iii) Whether on the facts and circumstances of the case, the ITAT was right in law in holding that the word “profit” referred to in Sections 28(iiid) and 28(iiie) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 means the difference between the sale price of DEPB and the face value of DEPB ignoring the fact that the entire amount represents the profit in the hands of assessee?

¶19

(iv) Whether on the facts and circumstances of the case, the ITAT was right in law in deducting the face value of DEPB from its sale price for calculating profit under Sections 28 (iiid) and 28(iiie) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 as if the face value is the cost incurred by the assessee to acquire the DEPB?

¶20

(v) Whether on the facts and circumstances of the case, the ITAT was right in law in holding that the word profit referred to in Sections 28(iiid) and 28(iiie) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 requires any artificial cost to be interpolated to the extent that the face value of DEPB/DFRC should be deducted from the sale proceed for the purpose of determination of deduction under Section 80HHC of the Income Tax Act, 1961?

¶21

(vi) Whether on the facts and circumstances of the case, the ITAT has failed to appreciate that deduction u/s 80HHC of the Income Tax Act, 1961 was rightly computed in accordance with amendment made by the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Act, 2005 with retrospective effect from 01.04.1998?”

¶22
