Panacea Biotec Ltd. Vs. ACIT 122 ITD 199
The instant appeal by the Assessee was against the order of CIT(Appeals) in confirming the disallowance of deduction claimed for employment of additional work force u/s 80JJAA of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (the Act).
The Assessee was a company engaged in the business of manufacture. The Assessee claimed deduction u/s. 80JJAA of the Act and the same was allowed in Assessment completed u/s 143(3) of the Act.
Subsequently, the Assessing Officer (AO) initiated reassessment proceedings on the ground that to claim deduction u/s 80JJAA of the Act, the assessee ought to had employed atleast 100 new workmen during the relevant previous year and since the Assessee employed less workmen, the deduction u/s 80JJAA of the Act was wrongly allowed, which had resulted in escapement of income chargeable to tax.
Accordingly, the AO added the deduction allowed u/s 80JJAA of the Act.
On appeal by the Assessee, the CIT(A) confirmed the order of the Assessing Officer (AO).
The Tribunal observed that identical issue had come for consideration in Assessee’s own case in succeeding assessment year where also the AO had disallowed the claim by holding that the aasessee company had not employed more than 100 new employees . However, the Tribunal had opined that no such condition was imposed in the said provision.
Accordingly, the Tribunal following the said decision, set aside the order of CIT(A) on this issue and remanded the question of deduction u/s 80JJAA of the Act, to the AO for consideration on satisfaction of the other conditions for grant of deduction.
