This query is : Resolved
Respected Sir,
back ground : we have setup a new unit, which is in notified industrial area of NE, (a partnership firm) started production in 2006 and were availing exemption under 80IC, we manufacuture pan masala(without tobacco) and churna for pan(mouth freshener)in our factory
the IT officer say that to claim the benefit of 80IC, our unit should make substantial expansion then only you can get the benefit of 80IC, as you unit has not made substantial expansion, you are not eligible for exemption under 80ic, 80ic is applicable to the unit how have made expansion during the period specified in 80ic not the new units estabilised during the specified period
sir pls help me with relevant papers to prove that new unit are also eligible for exemption of income tax for 10 years under 80IC.
with thanks awaiting for your reply.

It appears, there is some confusion. In fact it is new units which are eligible for deduction and not the units established by expanding the existing units or relocating the existing units. Please clarify the same.

The said products manufactured by you do not fall under Sch XIV prescribed for deduction under 80 IC,
Hence the ITO is refusing deduction to the firm, it is my understanding probably some one can explain better.

Mr.Vishal's clarification is perfect and illustrative. The product stated to be manufactured does not figure in the items listed in the Fourteenth schedule. The assessing Officer is right in declining the relief. It could not, however be followed as to how he had reportedly confcluded for declining the relief, that no expansion has not been done. When the product does not falla within the Fourteenth schedule, it is rejection has to be outright.

our product falls under food packing industry their is no confusion to the ITO about the shedule he says that to avail the benefit of 80ic your unit has to make expansion then only you will get the benefit
